Yelatma
To the Executive Committee

Mikhail Mitrofanovich Fedoseyev from Azeyevo complains that you have nationalized his printing shop, refusing him on February 6 under No. 455 both payment for the printing shop and compensation for removing from work his two apprentices and a bookbinder. Report immediately whether these facts are correct, whether it is true that the printing shop is located in Sasovo in a shed and is idle?

I request that you consider whether Fedoseyev cannot be put to work at the printing shop or be allowed to create a workers' cooperative and be given supervised management of his former printing shop under complete subordination to the Soviet of People's Commissars 297.
