619. To J. V. STALIN AND L. B. KAMENEV

First published in 1959 in Lenin Miscellany XXXVI. Printed from a text in Lydia Fotieva’s hand. · page 460

  Only
to Comrade Stalin and Comrade Kamenev

Please have a look at this short report from Sokolnikov, which he has given me in reply to my inquiry of yesterday. First, the report is incomplete, arid I have demanded additional information,^[1] second, if it is correct, the implication is that Novitsky has been giving us downright incorrect figures. We must find out the whole truth on this matter, and, if it turns out that Novitsky gave us incorrect   figures, the question must be raised in the Politbureau of prosecuting him.

4/II.22. Lenin
