I could more accurately present the corresponding parts of my report at the Congress of Soviets and insert some of the most illustrative figures.
Please inform me, for my report at the Congress of Soviets, of brief data that could vividly characterize the growth of the yearning for enlightenment and some successes in this area for 1921 (for example, the number of students, the number of reading-room huts, the number of libraries, the number of students, the number of technical educational institutions, etc.).

Kopnya Gidrotorf to Comrade Kirpichnikov.
I request that you give me the briefest answers, in one or at most two pages in all, to some questions so that I could more accurately present the corresponding parts of my report at the Congress of Soviets and insert some of the most illustrative figures.
Please give me a precise formulation, no more than one page long, of exactly what has been ordered in Germany for Gidrotorf. Will it be ready by the spring of '22, and what prospects does this offer for the entire peat campaign of '22.
Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars Lenin.
