Comrades Kamenev and Stalin!

I have just learned, to my horror, from Sokolnikov that he denies (!) the Political Bureau directive on the troika (he + Preobrazhensky + Krasnoshchekov).

This is chaos!

This is a scandal.

It means the Central Committee apparatus is not functioning! We must confirm it tomorrow without fail. 231

And—again and again—do not submit questions to the Supreme Economic Commission without written texts of proposals and counter-proposals from the interested People’s Commissars and
their deputies or assistants. Otherwise there will be chaos,

red tape,

talk,

irresponsibility.

25/I. 91/2 p.m.

Lenin
