There is a resolution of the Appraisal Commission on Inventions from 9/II-1921 concerning the award of a prize of 15,000,000 rubles to Petrov and other matters (signed by Mikhailovskiy).

I request the People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs and the Cheka to issue an order for his immediate passage abroad.

If there are any obstacles to this, I request that you inform me of them immediately.

Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars

V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
