ORDER TO THE SECRETARY  [December 17, 1919] — I have Bryuno’s reply on my desk.
1) Read the message over the telephone to Zinoviev.
2) Tell him that I have sent the article to S.Yu.2.
1 Written by Lenin in response to a telegram he had received from G.E. Zinoviev, requesting that “the most urgent measures be taken to supply the army with at least a modest quantity of meat, fish, and fats.”
2 Lenin is referring to his article “The Elections to the Constituent Assembly and the Dictatorship of the Proletariat,” which was completed on December 16, 1919, and earmarked by him for publication in the journal “The Communist International” (see “The Communist International,” Nos. 7–8, November–December 1919; Collected Works, vol. XXIV, pp. 631–649).
