To:   V. M. MOLOTOV FOR MEMBERS OF THE POLITBUREAU OF THE R.C.P.(B.) C.C.

19.XI.1921

Comrade Molotov:

Today Comrade Teodorovich brought in his resignation.
I refused to accept it.

It, is plain that he wishes to clear himself of the odium
of any possible conflicts and friction with Osinsky.

I am sure, however, that the matter will be settled for the greater benefit of the People’s Commissariat.

Please circulate this among Politbureau members to find
out whether they confirm my refusal to accept Teodorovich’s
resignation. [1]

With communist greetings, Lenin
