TO THE CONTROL COMMISSION OF THE RCP(B)
F. E. DZERZHINSKY
October 27, 1920

I earnestly request that you receive personally comrades Ratnikov, Rybakov, Romanov, and Glazunov from the district party conference (Aleksandrovsky District, Vladimir Province) in connection with glaring, extraordinary abuses (both Soviet and party) at the Troitsk ammunition factory, and especially concerning the difficulties faced by party members in bringing the matter to the center and obtaining at least a rapid party investigation of the case. It appears to me—such is my impression—that all is not well in the provincial party committee either. I enclose a copy of the decision of the Organizational Bureau.

With communist greetings,

V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
