Comrade Svidersky, Receive the comrades without fail or ask another member

decision.

Notes:
[1]
The note to Svidersky was written on a letter to Lenin from the
workers of the Balashinsk factory, who wrote: “We workers
receive food, exclusively bread, at intervals of 5 to 14 days, and no
other products. If potatoes are issued from the centre they stand
for about a month on the railway line.... Comrade Lenin, we ask
you to help us improve our position so that we can do better work
for the good and prosperity of our revolutionary Russia.”
