ADDENDUM TO THE DRAFT DECREE
ON THE ORGANIZATION OF SUPPLYING THE POPULATION

d) Cooperative warehouses and shops are not subject to municipalization.

In those places where, prior to the issuance of this decree, local bodies of Soviet power had nationalized or municipalized cooperatives and requisitioned or confiscated stocks of goods from cooperative shops, all these cooperatives must be restored, the goods must be returned to them, an accounting must be provided for the missing portion, and the lawful activities of cooperatives must not be impeded in the future.

Note:

When restoring cooperatives, it is mandatory to take measures to prevent counter-revolutionary or kulak distortion of their activities from being allowed and to ensure that strict control by committees of the poor and local Soviets over them is carried out rigorously 660.
