LETTER TO THE FUEL DEPARTMENT OF THE MOSCOW SOVIET
To the Fuel Department of the Moscow Soviet
June 16, 1920
Dear Comrades! Enclosing herewith the resolution of the Council
of Labor and Defense of June 11*, I additionally ask you
to pay the most serious attention to this issue.
It is possible and necessary to mobilize the Moscow population
completely and drag from the forests with our own hands a sufficient amount of firewood
(say, one cubic meter per adult man in three months—specialists will calculate more precisely, I speak as an example) to railway
stations and narrow-gauge railways.
If heroic measures are not taken, I will personally conduct in the Defense Council and in the Central Committee not only the arrests of all
responsible persons, but also executions. Inactivity is intolerable
and negligence.
With communist greetings
Lenin

LETTER TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE PETROGRAD
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
June 25, 1920
The famous physiologist Pavlov is asking to go abroad, in view
of his difficult financial situation. Letting
Pavlov go abroad is hardly rational, since he previously
stated that, being an honest man,

1920 YEAR he will not be able, in the event of relevant conversations, not to speak out against the Soviet government and communism
in Russia.
Meanwhile, this scientist represents such a great cultural value that it is impossible to allow forcible
detention in Russia, provided there is material insecurity.
In view of this, it would be desirable, as an exception, to provide
him with an extra-normal ration and generally take care
of a more or less comfortable environment for him, not like the others.
I have heard that in Petrograd rest homes life for those living there is very favorable. Something
similar could be done for Professor Pavlov in his apartment.
Comrade Lunacharsky will make a corresponding proposal to Comrade Badayev. I ask you to support him in this
regard*.

* V. I. Lenin highly appreciated I. P. Pavlov as a great scientist, and treated him attentively and carefully. I. P. Pavlov did not immediately understand the significance of the October Revolution. Only gradually, observing the growth of socialist construction, the development of the power of the Soviet Union, the flourishing of culture and science, I. P. Pavlov appreciated the great historical role of the Soviet state, became an active participant in the construction of socialism, and a fervent patriot of the socialist fatherland.
I. P. Pavlov highly appreciated the enormous opportunities that
the Soviet socialist system provides for the development of culture and science. His pre-death,
widely known appeal to youth is imbued with the spirit of genuine patriotism. "Our homeland * opens
up vast expanses for scientists," wrote I. P. Pavlov, "and it is necessary to
give credit - science is generously introduced into life in our country. To the
utmost generosity!
What to say about the situation of a young scientist in our country? Everything is clear here anyway. He is given a lot, but a lot will be asked of him. And for
young people, as for us, it is a matter of honor to justify the great hopes
that our homeland places on science" ("Pravda" No. 58, February 28,
1936).
In the difficult years of devastation, foreign intervention and civil
war, on the initiative of V. I. Lenin, all conditions were created for I. P. Pavlov
for fruitful scientific activity.
On January 24, 1921, the Council of People's Commissars adopted the following resolution:
"Taking into account the completely exceptional scientific merits
of Academician I. P. Pavlov, which are of great importance for the workers of the entire world, the Council of People's Commissars decided:
