To:   A. D. TSYURUPA

Comrade Tsyurupa:

By tomorrow noon I need the following data:

1) The quantity of grain (and fodder grain) given to
the population monthly figures 1919–1920
1920–1921

Three columns food grain potatoes fodder grain

2) The quantity of grain collected (by the Commissariat
for Food):

net surplus-requisition
1920–1921 total for grinding (for the available number of months)

3) The number of gubernias (and assessments for them)
which have fulfilled deliveries (1920–1921)

100% for a given month
75% ”

Tell Senin, or whoever is in charge of this, that I shall
have him arrested unless I get the figures, signed by the responsible person , by noon.

Lenin

P.S. Two other things:

1) Perhaps there have been other collections of grain
for “services” apart from the “spade-per-sack” for grinding?

2) Have you any data on the “free” price of salt (in terms
of grain ), etc.? (You will recall that I have been asking
for this a long time ago.)
