PEOPLE’S COMMISSARIAT FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS

ALL-RUSSIAN EXTRAORDINARY COMMISSION

I am informed that obstacles are being placed in the way of Grigory Semyonovich Petrov, a chemist and inventor, going abroad.

Petrov has a mandate from the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Trade signed by V. V. Voikov dated 29/III-1921, No. 1554 (A) 012.

TO N. L. SHPEKTOROV, P. L. VOIKOV AND OTHERS. APRIL 23, 1921

There is a decision of the Appraisal Commission for Invention Affairs of 9/II-1921 on the award of a premium to Petrov of 15,000,000 rubles, etc. (signed by Mikhailovsky).

I request the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Affairs and the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission to issue instructions for his immediate passage abroad.

If there are any obstacles to this, I request you to inform me of them immediately.

TO N. L. SHPEKTOROV, P. L. VOIKOV,

A. Z. GOLTSMAN, L. N. KRITSMAN, V. G. GROMAN

I hereby announce a severe reprimand with a warning that in the event of a repetition the guilty parties will be committed for trial:

Comrades Shpektorov (People’s Commissariat for War), Voikov (People’s Commissariat for Foreign Trade), Goltsman (All-Russian Central Council of Trade Unions) for failing to attend the session of the Commission of the Council of Labour and Defence on April 23 at 10 a.m., of which Commission they had been notified on 22/IV up to 10 p.m. personally or by telephone by the Secretariat of the Council of People’s Commissars,
and also Comrade Kritsman, to whom notification was conveyed through Comrade Goltsman,
and Groman—Chairman of the Transport Section*, for the fact that in his department no duty roster had been established, as a result of which it proved impossible to notify him of the Commission’s session.
