To:   V. A. SMOLYANINOV [1]

Comrade Smolyaninov:

Please look through regularly and collect everything about Centrosoyuz.

There is need to work out a number of time-tables for their monthly reports ((the same for GUM ==State
Department Store)).

Roughly:

(1) turnover

{{ bought sold }} by main groups of products (2) by gubernia (3) % of gubernias reporting inaccurately.

Without fail (4) Unpunctual gubernias up on the list of
shirkers which should be published , etc.

2/ XII. Lenin

P.S. Let me have these tables at the C.L.D.

See if any conclusions can be drawn from them about the procurement of raw materials and their
type .

Notes:
[1]
Written on a typed copy of a report: “Centrosoyuz turnover in
relations with gubernia societies and district sections. Data on
commodity turnover of the sections for September–November 1921 in millions of rubles of present currency”. Lenin drew four
pencilled lines under the word “Centrosoyuz”.
