THE GUBISPOLKOMA AND THE GUBCHEKA

Memorandum via Direct Line
Saratov, Pre‑Gubernatorial Executive Committee
Saratov, Gubernial Cheka
Copy to Saratov, Gubernial Producers’ Committee
Copy to Kamyshin, District Executive Committee

In confirmation of People’s Commissar for Trade Tsyurupa’s Telegram No. 1111 of April 19, and in order to ensure its strict implementation, I hereby instruct the Pre‑Gubernatorial Executive Committee to verify the reports received from the Gubernial Producers’ Committee. Should the report from the Saratov Gubernial Producers’ Committee prove to be accurate, I order that the Chairman of the Kamyshin District Executive Committee be arrested for a period of three days for his unacceptable interference in the conduct of grain procurement work—interference that undermines the interests of the entire country and of the Red Army.

April 15, 1920. Chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars, Lenin
