Comrade Molotov:

On the strength of the complaint 

I propose that Bryukhanov should send a telegram today, signed by the Chairman of the All-Russia Central Executive Committee and a C.C. secretary:

1) severe reprimand to the heads (chairmen of the gubernia executive committees, etc.), 

2) threat of prosecution, 

3) prosecution at once of those responsible for local issues before meeting central requirements.

Lenin
