V. I.

Lenin

October 27, 1918

Comrade Vladimirsky (or any other member of the Presidium of the Moscow Soviet)

The bearers are comrades from Vyborg. Please receive them immediately . Moreover, they point out the excessively formalistic procedures for admission to the Soviet building,
the incredible captiousness of the guard, and the writing
of absolutely unnecessary special passes. Can’t this business
be simplified?

Greetings, Lenin
