To:   THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF THE PEOPLE’S COMMISSARIAT FOR FOOD

25. II. 1920

The Ukhtomsky (Lyubertsy) Works of Moscow Gubernia, Moscow Uyezd, an agricultural machinery plant, has coal
and materials and the workers (1,300 employees) have not dispersed . It would be particularly important to support
such a factory.

Please discuss urgently whether the workers of this factory can be given food assistance as a special measure.
Please telephone your reply to me. [1]

V. Ulyanov (Lenin )
Chairman, C.P.C.

On the back of Lenin’s letter is a memo by A. I. Svidersky giving
information about the food supplied to the workers of the Lyubertsy
factory. Over this Lenin wrote: “We shall verify this tomorrow
by telephone and keep it in the files .”
