Comrade Kursky!

N. P. Gorbunov informs me that you have refused by telephone to work out a declaration of civil rights (“proclamation of fundamental property rights”, according to the text of the Politbureau decision of March 22, 364) and that you have referred to the “cancellation of the retreat”.

I am compelled to point out to you that such a motive is a mockery and that the red tape you have displayed and are displaying is inadmissible.

I propose that you submit the draft declaration of civil rights to Comrade Tsyurupa 365 within a maximum of two days, i.e., not later than Monday morning.*

Chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars, V. Ulyanov (Lenin)

March 31, 1922
