333. TELEPHONE MESSAGE TO G. M. KRZHIZHANOVSKY AND ASSIGNMENT TO SECRETARY

First published in 1945 in Lenin Miscellany XXXV. Printed from a typewritten copy. · page 265

Very urgent

Comrade Krzhizhanovsky,
Gosplan Presidium

I must have before Krasin’s departure the shortest possible outline of all works being carried on at Gosplan as regards economic operations required to boost agriculture in the famine-stricken gubernias.

Please order this outline for me to have it ready within two or three days.

Please bear in mind that this should be confined to the briefest information, a few lines about each of the proposed works, with an estimate of their volume and cost.

Please let me know when I can have this report.

V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars

Send this urgently, and check up by phone when it is received by Krzhizhanovsky.
