MEMORANDUM TO II. N. KRISTINSKY.
April 17 [1919]
Comrade Krestinsky! This was reported by Evnevich. Please return it to me along with your comments.
Lenin.
1 By this, Lenin refers to a letter dated April 17, 1919, from Evnevich, an official of the Main Committee for the Administration of the Rubber Industry.

In his letter, Evnevich reiterated the need to issue instructions supplementing the Sovnarkom’s decree “On the Liquidation of Debts Owed by State Enterprises.” This decree had been published in Izvestia of the All‑Russian Central Executive Committee, No. 52, dated March 7, 1919. The Sovnarkom had instructed the Supreme Council of National Economy, State Control, and the People’s Commissariat of Finance—in paragraph 6 of the aforementioned decree—to develop such instructions “within a reasonable timeframe.”
