To Comrade Molotov. If my memory does not deceive me, a letter or circular from the Central Committee concerning May 1st has been printed in the newspapers, and it says something about: exposing the lies of religion or something similar.

This cannot be done. This is tactless. Precisely on the occasion of Easter, the following should be recommended instead:
not to expose lies, but absolutely to avoid any insult to religion.

It is necessary to issue an additional letter or circular.205 If the Secretariat does not agree,
then to the Politburo.
