Comrade Alferov!

Lomonosov told me before his departure that everything had been done for the oil pipeline.

It is clear that here we have either sabotage or sloppiness, for your report is extremely contradictory.

You must send me no later than Tuesday at 11 o'clock in the morning: 1) briefly, extremely briefly, a report on what has been ordered (a) — and (b) what has been done.

2) The first name, patronymic, and surname of each responsible person.

27. II. Lenin

(P.S. In response to your note of 27. II.)
