[July 23, 1921]

To pass through the Politburo and through the Council of Labour and Defence:
1) to punish Badaev and his two closest associates with arrest for one Sunday for failing to comply with the order of the Council of Labour and Defence.
2) to warn him and them: next time for a month and we will expel them.

This refers to the Petrograd Consumers' Commune's failure to implement the decree of the Council of People's Commissars of July 12, 1921, on revising the groups of consumers supplied by it and removing 30% of eaters from rations due to the severe food situation.
