Comrade Gorbunov!

I request you to give instructions to collect the following literature:

1) everything in Russian on electrification, in addition to the book “Plan of Electrification.”
The reports of Krzhizhanovsky and Ramzin\(^1\) in Petrograd.—Brochure by Kushner\(^2\).—Other brochures on electrification—the publication of the Vladimir Gubernia Executive Committee on electrification and other local publications.

2) In German, the new literature (1915–1921) on the state of electrification in various countries and its tasks, etc. (through Krzhizhanovsky, etc.).

Get me all this within 1–2 weeks for a period of 2 months for Iv. Iv. Skvortsov (Stepanov).\(^3\)

With communist greetings,
Lenin
