To Comrade Secretary

I would very much request that you examine this statement in both its parts (mitigation of the penalty and the removal from Tagantsev’s apartment of his personal belongings) as quickly as possible, and not refuse to send me even the briefest report 415.

Chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars Lenin
