OF THE NIJNIY NOVGOROD GOVERNATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

Nizhny, Chair of the Gubernia Executive Committee
According to the information received, the Nizhny Novgorod Gubernia Executive Committee did not carry out the loading of grain cargoes on Sunday, May 30. Considering that the supply of the Western Front, Petrograd, and Moscow is almost exclusively dependent on water transport, the cessation of loading even for one day is inadmissible and criminal. I propose that measures be taken to prevent such incidents from recurring in the future and to urgently inform me of the implementation.
