Comrade Zinoviev

For the Committee of the 1st State Cartographical
Institute (formerly A. Ilyin’s)
5, Pryazhka

Thank you very much for sending another copy of the atlas Railways of Russia, and please do not forget that if a new atlas is to be published giving the new administrative divisions, it is essential very carefully to collect information from the People’s Commissariats about the boundaries both of the new gubernias and also of the Tatar, Bashkir and other republics, regions and communes ( German, Chuvash), and others.

It is unlikely that this can be done without a commission under the Council of People’s Commissars.

With communist greetings,
V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
