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

Comrade Molotov

I absolutely insist on an immediate Politbureau decision
by telephone about Rudzutak’s urgent dispatch (immediately after the plenum on the trade unions) to Germany :
he is running a temperature and is spitting blood. Clearly,
his TB is getting worse.

Over here, he won’t be cured and, what is most important, he won’t be given a strict
regimen. [1]
