Deputy People’s Commissar for Health

Comrade Solovyov,

1) Look through my remarks and return them, please, with your comments.

2) Are there any statistics as to the total number of doctors in Moscow?

3) Have any data on the physician-population ratio been published (where and when)?

4) —ditto: methods of control over doctors (that they are not superfluous, that they are registered)?

5) Ratio (and number) of doctors in Petrograd?

6) —in other towns?

7) Ought we not publish statistics of the number of doctors and ratio for verification? Briefly, in the newspapers, so that everyone can check?

Greetings,
Lenin
