TELEGRAM TO THE GUBPRODKOMISSAR MYASKOV
COPIES TO THE GUBKOM OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY
AND KOOPEROTDEL OF MUSU
SAMARA
January 25, 1920

In terms of the number of frictions and misunderstandings with the cooperative movement, Samara occupies first place. I am astonished that you have not yet managed to implement the decree of March 20*. I propose strict adherence to the instructions of the People's Commissariat of Food. Report what has hindered your work, who has established and on what basis is operating the commission that removed Chairman Mikhailov and other cooperators. Instead of struggling with the cooperative in a manner irritating to it, through individual persons, concentrate your efforts on the political preparation for new elections.
