LETTER TO N. P. BRYUKHANOV.
If Bryukhanov is unavailable, then to Frumkin.
(Copy to N. P. Gorbunov).
19 September 1921
Comrade Bryukhanov!
Today I signed a telegram concerning 1.2 million poods of hay for Moscow.
It seems to me that it is not quite right to have such telegrams submitted to me for signature. Perhaps gradually—but we must nonetheless move toward, and ultimately achieve, a system in which people (including, among others, the provincial executive committees) are able to obey without my signature—able to obey as a matter of course, rather than merely responding to extraordinary directives.
Send 2–3 telegrams in the form of combat orders. Follow up closely. If they fail to comply, mete out severe punishment and rigorously investigate the disciplinary measures taken.
I request that you provide me with a precise plan—and a calendarized schedule—for transitioning local institutions to standard discipline.
Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union, V. Ulyanov (Lenin).

MEMORANDUM TO THE SECRETARY.
Regarding the dissemination of utter absurdity.
Establish a clear written procedure—signed by Gorbunov and agreed upon with Brichkina—such that:
(a) The Secretary of the Central Committee shall report to so-and-so within such-and-such a timeframe;
(b) The Secretaries of the SNK (aa), via telephone, shall notify all (or certain specified) People’s Commissars.
Deadline.
(bb) All shall be notified in writing, and so forth.

Following Lenin’s report, the STO adopted the following resolution: “To entrust a commission composed of Comrades Gorbunov, Smolyaninov, Avanesov—with the addition of…”
