RESOLUTION ON THE LETTER FROM CITIZENS OF YAGANOVSKAYA VOLOST, CHEREPOVETS PROVINCE*

April 2, 1919

Completion of the church building is, of course, permitted; please call on Comrade Kursky, the People's Commissar of Justice, whom I have just contacted by telephone, for instructions.

V. Ulyanov (Lenin)

* The letter addressed to V. I. Lenin stated: "In accordance with the decree on the separation of the church from the state, we have accepted, according to the attached deed, all church and monastery property together with the unfinished stone church and the materials prepared for its construction. Leaving it unfinished would be a loss to the parish, as the uncovered church is subject to damage from spring rains; moreover, completing the church building is highly desirable because the old wooden church has fallen into disrepair and threatens to collapse. In view of the foregoing, we most respectfully request you, Comrade Chairman, to permit us to carry out the completion of the church building."
