REMARKS ON THE DRAFT DECREE ON MEASURES FOR THE CORRECT DISTRIBUTION OF HOUSING AMONG THE WORKING POPULATION
May 25, 1920
In my opinion, § 9 is no good. People's courts are weak.
It is necessary to oblige local sanitary departments (+ labor communes)
(a) to issue mandatory rules (b) to punish, without trial, by arrest for up to 1 month
and forced labor for up to 2 months for dirt and other things.
(r) to organize mass control over cleanliness (through special
detachments under the Soviets).
