Rumours about the denationalisation of the Bogoslovsk district are stupid nonsense.^[1]

Notes

[1] This telegram is in reply to one from Ekaterinburg dated April 30, 1918, from the Regional Board of Nationalised Enterprises, reporting that rumours were current about the denationalisation of the Bogoslovsk mining district. Lenin attached great importance to the speedy exposure of these false rumours which could   mislead the working masses. On the telegram from Ekaterinburg, Lenin wrote the following note: “Received 2/V.1918 at 7 p.m. I demand investigation into the reason for two days’ delay. Lenin.”
