Secret
To Comrade Krzhizhanovsky
10/VI [1921]
Comrade Krzhizhanovsky!
I fear that due to Comintern affairs our meeting with you will not be able to take place in the coming days.
Therefore, a few words in writing.
The "impudent fellow" is an arch-swindler. I even fear that he deliberately
used my letter 2. We must think strategically.
Should we not do the following:
1) in 2-3 weeks, give an overview of work facts, and in a footnote
contemptuously against inactive communists?
2) hasten with individualizing assignments. DO NOT DELAY.
3) give the "impudent fellow" precisely such an assignment and
4) concurrently the same assignment to a more capable, businesslike, cautious person.
5) Gather documentary material against the impudent fellow and move
it (in 5-7 weeks, perhaps in 2-3 weeks, but not in the coming days) to the Central Committee?
I repeat, we must seriously consider the struggle. For the impudent fellow
lies and with lies MAY
WIN.
Send Balieva (through Fotieva), when you yourself have FULLY
utilized 3.
Push Ramzin 4 to practical work, practical, businesslike proposals in the Supreme Council of National Economy and in the Council of Labour and Defence. I am still afraid,
terribly afraid, that he is too academic!!
Your Lenin
