To Comrade Osinsky (with a request to pass it on to Comrade Teodorovich after reading)

The author is Comrade Fofanova, who was a member of the board of the People’s Commissariat for Agriculture.

I am not proposing her for this post.

She is a Party comrade, thoroughly tested even before October 1917.

An agronomist.

In my opinion, it is absolutely necessary to make use of her: summon her, talk to her, think it over.

Either for local work, or for inspection work.

* See present volume, Document 97. — Ed.

There are so few agronomists among Party comrades, and this milieu (agronomists) is so “alien,”
that we must seize with both hands a Party person to supervise this milieu, to check up on it, to attract this milieu to us.

Drop me a line when you decide what you are doing.

Lenin

P.S. Return Fofanova’s letter.
