To:   V. M. MOLOTOV FOR MEMBERS OF THE POLITBUREAU OF THE R.C.P.(B.) C.C.

To Comrade Molotov for Politbureau members

I quite agree with
Trotsky. [1]

I propose:

1) Radek should be censured for giving in to the
Mensheviks.

2) The reprisals against the Mensheviks should be
intensified, and our courts should be instructed to intensify them.

3) Accept this proposal of Trotsky’s.

4) Authorise Trotsky to accelerate in every way a
fierce attack on the Mensheviks over
Georgia. [2]
