25. IV. 1922
Comrade Stalin,

I request the Secretariat of the C.C. (or if this is not within its competence but that of the Organising Bureau, then the Organising Bureau) to decide:

1) to instruct the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Affairs immediately to apply for a visa for entry into Germany for Gleb Maximilianovich Krzhizhanovsky, Chairman of the State Planning Commission, and his wife, Zinaida Pavlovna Krzhizhanovskaya;

2) to grant leave to both these comrades for the period necessary for G. M. Krzhizhanovsky’s treatment in Germany;

3) to instruct Comrade Krestinsky to pay the necessary expenses for this in Germany, with verification (through the Russian doctor at the Embassy) that this treatment is completed.

It is a matter of treatment for a hernia.

* Words omitted in the recording but necessary for the sense have been inserted. —Ed.

G. M. Krzhizhanovsky must leave soon, namely, immediately after the return of Pyatakov, who is leaving on April 26 for about two weeks.

If any obstacles are encountered in granting this request of mine, please inform me what they are.\(^{391}\)

With Communist greetings,
Lenin
