TELEGRAM TO N. N. KRESTINSKY

Do everything you can to obtain at once a visa for
Avanesov, Deputy People’s Commissar for Workers’ and
Peasants’ Inspection. Visiting German doctors have found him
to be dangerously ill. The spring is especially dangerous
for him. He must go immediately. Do your best. We give all guarantees. Reply at
once. [1]

On March 31, 1922, the R.S.F.S.R. mission in Germany reported
that the German Foreign Ministry was prepared to grant V. A.
Avanesov a visa immediately, provided his trip was for purely health
reasons.
