May 16, 1922. Top Secret, to Comrade Osinsky!
In my view, the editor of “Agricultural Life” should be removed, while Weinstein and Oganovsky ought to be placed under special surveillance. This is my conclusion after reading No. 34 (75) of “Agricultural Life.” Please circulate this letter in strictest confidence to Comrades Yakovenko and Teodorovich (the latter being particularly culpable), and return it to me with additional information—specifically regarding Editor A. N. Morosanov (?) and the other two, in greater detail. Please provide more thorough accounts of their tenure and related matters.
Most likely, these are Right Socialist-Revolutionaries, of whom the three of you have fallen victim.
What measures are you taking, the three of you, to ensure that this does not happen again?
Lenin
