Lenin

To Comrade Molotov for All Members of the
Politbureau

I think that “Bespartiiny” in today’s Pravda is proposing a perfectly correct and timely plan. [1]

I move that a commission be set up to elaborate it immediately and put
it into effect as quickly as possible, this commission to consist of
Molotov (replaceable by some body appointed by the Secretariat of the
Central Committee or the Orgbureau), Yakovenko, Teodorovich and the
“Bespartiiny” in question.

[1]
This refers to an article entitled “The Ninth Congress of Soviets and
the Peasantry” published in Pravda on January 27, 1922, over the
signature Bespartiiny (Non-Party-Man). The writer propounded a plan for
popularising among the peasantry the decisions of the Ninth All-Russia
Congress of Soviets on peasant questions. Lenin’s motion was adopted by the
Politbureau on January 28, 1922.
