MEMORANDUM TO V. M. MIKHAILOV, WITH A DRAFT RESOLUTION OF THE POLITBURO OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE RCP(b) ON FOOD SUPPLIES IN UKRAINE
9/XI.
Comrade Mikhailov!
Please circulate this among the members of the Politburo and return it to me. I propose the following resolution for the Politburo’s consideration.
The Politburo directs the Central Committee of the Ukrainian Communist Party that the complete collection of food supplies in Ukraine—namely, 100%—is of absolutely paramount importance for the RSFSR. Likewise, the delivery to us of 57 million poods is of critical significance. The Politburo instructs: immediately formulate a series of the most vigorous measures to achieve this goal and report all decisions made to the Central Committee.
Regarding the progress of food collection and transportation to the RSFSR, brief summary reports are to be submitted by telephone twice a month.
