Despite the decree of the Council of People's Commissars regarding the liberation of the buildings of Smolensk University, you, according to a report from the People's Commissar of Health comrade Semashko, have still not liberated the buildings. I propose that you immediately execute the decree of the Council of People's Commissars, liberate the university buildings, and report on the execution of this order.
