569. To A. D. TSYURUPA

Written in 1920, not later than March · First published in 1959 in Lenin Miscellany XXXVI. Printed from the original. · page 365

Comrade Tsyurupa,

It was stated in the Politbureau that army transports from Siberia should be replaced by food transports (in view of the victories in the south).

The decision was not put in writing because Trotsky, who was in full agreement, had already issued orders.

The member of the Supreme Council for Transport from the Commissariat for Food should keep his eyes open.

Yours,
Lenin
