Note by L.B. Kamenev

Rykova should not be introduced just for his today's vile1* speech! But if we don't introduce him, it will be, perhaps, an eternal disease.

L.Kamenev.

Note by V.I. Lenin

If we don't introduce Rykov - an eternal sore. Then you must find another2* deputy chairman of the Council of People's Commissars.

Kalinin is a candidate.

Lenin
