LETTER TO I. I. RADCHENKO AND NOTE TO F. V. LENGNIK

19.X.1921

Comrade Radchenko:

I recommend to you the bearer of this, Nikolai
Alexandrovich Yemelyanov . Please let him have a 6–month assignment for work abroad , so as to give him a chance to recover
from the hard labour in Petrograd, and have a change of
work.

I know Nikolai Alexandrovich very well personally, and am
sure that this comrade, this absolutely honest and most loyal
Communist, with vast human, industrial and Party experience, can and must be used for cleansing the Augean stables
of stealing and sabotage by the People’s Commissariat for
Foreign Trade officials abroad. Please phone me today.

With communist greetings, Lenin

Comrade Lengnik:

Please read this letter and phone me (we shall later also
show this letter to Iv. Iv. Radchenko). It is my earnest
request that Yemelyanov should be given a suitable assignment abroad soon.

With communist greetings, Lenin
