People’s Commissariat for Foreign Trade

Comrade Lezhava:

Comrade Lomonosov informs me that there has been fresh delay with the ordering of turbines for the Volkhov project.

I propose that this question should be immediately clarified and finally settled with Comrade Lomonosov, so as to avoid the slightest delays in the future over a matter that has been shockingly dragged out.

Send me the decision through Comrade Gorbunov not later than 26/I.

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