To:   V. M. MOLOTOV [1]

To Comrade Molotov :

Let all members of the Politbureau read this. We must raise it in the Politbureau. I think we should let them
know the regulations and ask for their amendments. This
is very important.

17/ IV. Lenin

Notes:
[1]
This assignment to V. M. Molotov was written on a memorandum
from a group of members of the interim presidium and the
scientific methods commission of the Moscow State University to the
Politbureau of the R.C.P.(B.) Central Committee on the training of
Soviet specialists. They criticised the old faculty opposing any
renovation of the higher schools, and made their own proposals to
amend the draft statute of institutions of higher learning adopted
by the Collegium of the People’s Commissariat for Education.

On April 20, 1921, the Politbureau asked the People’s
Commissariat for Education to refrain from publishing the statute
for the time being, for the purpose of elaborating and discussing
the question additionally.
