697. To G. V. CHICHERIN^[1]

Written in September, not earlier than 24, 1920 · First published in 1959 in Lenin Miscellany XXXVI. Printed from the original. · page 435

Comrade Chicherin,

It is necessary:

1) To put before the C.C. another draft of a precise decision: the C.C. prohibits acting in such-and-such a way, and demands so-and-so.

2) To lodge a protest against each violation concretely.

3) To put through the C.C. the appointment of a responsible person (not a very “high” one).

Otherwise the result is nothing but grousing.

Lenin
