TO THE POLITBURO OF THE R.C.P.(B.) CENTRAL COMMITTEE

Comrade Molotov:

I request that a decision be taken on Comrade Lezhava’s statement (regarding Sosnovsky’s article in Pravda) to the effect that he must, either personally or through someone else, come out in the press with a statement against Sosnovsky. I consider it premature to take a decision against Sosnovsky in the Politburo until the two sides have exchanged polemics or until Lezhava submits a more precise report.168 I have not, however, read Sosnovsky’s articles.
