Fotieva or Glaser
Please send the following telegram:


Avanessov
Enukidze
Belenky (Cheka)


Today, 13th of July, I was again sent not a ready, typeset, printed brochure ("Instructions of the STO" and the Decree of the VTsIK), but only an untypeset, draft proof.


Clearly, both printing houses, that of the Cheka and the Presidium of the VTsIK, are sabotaging. The delay is outrageous and intolerable.


I request that you expedite the matter and punish the managers of both printing houses responsible for the delay.


Please do not refuse to inform me of what you have done.


Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars Lenin
