KHARKOV. To Rakovsky
Copy to Vladimirov

The most careful calculation of the expected grain receipts, taking into account the prolonged interruption of communications with Siberia, with a view to at least somewhat alleviating the food crisis in the centre, makes it imperative to demand most categorically that the Ukrprodkom fulfil the regular dispatch of forty carloads of foodstuffs daily, consigned to the centre. I express my urgent desire for the dispatch of sixty carloads in accordance with Vladimirov’s telegram No. 3781, confident that the Ukrprodkom will warmly respond to this appeal; for my part, I request the Ukrprodkom to exert maximum efforts and immediately take all available measures to fulfil this new assignment and thereby ease our food situation at this extremely difficult moment for us, with a view to rendering actual assistance in the matter of dispatching grain to Central Russia.

Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars,
Lenin
