TO S. P. SEREDA
6.XI.1920
Comrade Sereda:
I consider the articles by Michelson, which you have
sent me, of exceptional importance.
1
It is necessary:
1) To send them over at once to
Izvestia and
Pravda
(having corrected the style, put them together into one
article and edited).
2) To supply an afterword by you: conclusions (practical
conclusions).
3) To send a concise extract to ROSTA
*
for circulation
in Russia.
4) To include all this without fail
α ) in your printed
report to the Congress of Soviets on 20.XII,
β) in your oral
report (the gist and practical conclusions).
All this should be prepared in advance, and the special-
ists must be made to perform all the works preparatory to
your report in good time.
With communist greetings,
Lenin

TO THE NARROW COUNCIL OF PEOPLE’S COMMISSARS
To the Narrow Council:
Bryukhanov does not agree.
It is not right to decree
such things without Bryukha-
nov’s specific written consent in each separate case.

I have just learned about your surrender offer to Wran-
gel.

Extremely surprised at the excessively accommodat-
ing terms. If the enemy accepts them, make sure of taking
over the fleet and not letting out a single ship; if the enemy
rejects these terms, I think they must not be repeated, and
the enemy dealt with ruthlessly.

TO M. I. KALININ. NOVEMBER 12, 1920
Perhaps we could establish the following order concern-
ing the number of workers’ supply rations:
1) Establish the minimum number of rations in numeri-
cal order, say:
ration No. 1 ordinary, minimum
”
No. 2 so much higher
”
No. 3
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
etc., up to No. 10, the highest ration, if the total number
of rations could be confined to 10.
2) Determine monthly how many consumers (industrial
or office workers plus members of their families) are
receiving under each ration.
If we managed to do this, we could first find out exactly
how many ration groups there are;
Second, we could easily switch separate groups from one
ration to another;
And third, we should always know how much has
actually been issued and to how many workers.

TO M. I. KALININ
Comrade Kalinin:
I am sending you the draft resolutions on the Siberian
concessions which have been passed by the committee (these
drafts will be submitted to the Council of People’s Com-
missars for approval possibly next week
4
). One other ques-
tion, namely, that of
food concessions, has still to be worked
out in sufficient detail.
Will you press forward with this matter on the lines
we discussed today.
