At its meeting on April 20, 1920, the Sovnarkom resolved:
To issue a reprimand to the Council of the First Labor Army for its insufficiently serious
attitude toward the question of the new division of gubernias and to demand, henceforth, more thorough preparation of matters,
so that no conflicting reports could emerge from the localities.
Chairman of the Sovnarkom
Lenin
Printed according to the original documents signed
by V. I. Lenin.
