[1921]

It turned out badly.
General impression of the "first reading"1:
1st page: "many see a clear" deviation...
(Why admit that "many" are reproaching?
Immediately an incorrect tone and "move"... in favor of the enemies).
2nd page.
"general reorganization of people's commissariats, which is inevitably
connected"...
("inevitably"? Very avoidable, for no general reorga nization IS occurring. And it turned out that the author refers
the reader to that "general" which DOES not exist).
3rd page.
highlighting the main, concentration in large enterpri ses, etc. ...
"however, one should consider to see that bit by bit it is impossible"... "piecemeal work".
(Unproven. Only bit by bit is it possible. One must start with little, with one instance),
p. 4... Extremes are inadmissible
(undeniably, but academically)
Osadchy2 in NKVT (already named twice)
"members of Gosplan constantly have to (only Osadchy?)
engage in rough work"...
35 - 1 = 34
Fuel ... Larin (why quote him without giving a single figure? To encourage the enemy! Either keep silent about him, speaking
p. 5...
about one's work not with Larin's words, but with one's own and with facts,
or attack him. Any other tactic = certain defeat)
p. 6 "a group of workers has been urgently formed to combat hun
ger" (? this is not at all the business of Gosplan!)
p. 7
p. 8 instructions of the presidium of STO
(? Which ones? the reader does not know)
VSP + OTK
People's Commissariat of Transport... "IT IS LIKELY,
IT WILL NOT
BE LONG
IN MAKING ITSELF FELT"
(the underlined words are also in favor of the enemies).
Neopikhanov...
(but what did he do? Not a single clear word.
At least one example. How did he help?
Saved? Discovered an error? Helped avoid it?
In what precisely?)
8 -9: ..." Assignments"...
Everyone is so fed up with assignments that it's better to keep
silent about them. Everyone has a multitude of assignments.
General, universal, all-encompassing assignments, which clearly
will not be fulfilled.
It turned out badly or not at all. Better to keep silent for now
in print. And for a report to the Council of Labour and Defence,
present clearly something actually achieved, even if only
(a)
3-4 examples, small but precise, factual, ACHIEVED, not assignments, — concrete implemented,
not general and supposed.
What did Ramzin do in Piter?
"
"
Neopikhanov in Moscow?
Strumilin
Popov 3 and others.
((3)
Has the work been distributed to individual members? When?
To how many of the 35?
(7)
Out of 10 people's commissariat commissions, relations are correct
with one (? fuel).
How did this manifest itself?
What has been realistically achieved in the plan for the second half of
1921?
Fuel economy?
Conclusion: further merge with 10, overcome the inertia of the 9 doing nothing?

(8) PREPARATION of a plan for the second half of 1921?
People's Commissariat of Agriculture (harvest?) Central Statistical Board?
Current section
Supreme Council of National Economy
This, approximately, is how one should structure the material for
a report to the Council of Labour and Defence, in my opinion.
A general and consolidated plan will, apparently, not be ready
before autumn 1921, and cannot be provided until the harvest has been approximately
clarified.
Let it be so. (But harvest is one thing, and the amount of realized
tax and grain received is another.
You will know this amount in 1922, post factum.)
Therefore, one must proceed anyway from CONDITIONAL MINI
MUMS.
Partial plans have been made (fuel?); on Ug made (People's Commissariat of Transport?). Here one can,
it seems, give something factual.
On */4 done? number of eaters? (this is the business of the Central Statistical Board, not
Gosplan. Everyone will shift THEIR work onto Gosplan.
It should not allow this).
But the main thing still remains: immediately, at once, "bit by bit"
TO ELIMINATE
CLEARLY
IRRATIONAL,
CLEARLY
CONTRADICTORY
TO THE PLAN
OF STATE
ECONOMY
(close down certain establishments in such and such an industry...
close down, semi-close down such and such railways...
build such and such fuel branches...
name that forest mass, which, according to Ramzin, will yield more than any
Algemba, and give a plan: to cut it this way, to deliver it this way...
From 1,000 good factories, launch 10 by such and such a date,
50 by such and such a date, etc., even up to 100 or 200).
