TO L. D. TROTSKY
Comrade Trotsky:
Have a look at this (it’s interesting) and return to me.

I am going to speak with Kharkov this very day.
Don’t you find the attitudes over the concessions amus-
ing? There’s the Baku and Donbas “patriotism”.
It is nonetheless highly desirable to let the concession-
aires have a quarter of Donbas (&Krivoi Rog).
What do you think?

TO A. I. YEMSHANOV
*
P.C.R.
The People’s Commissar for Railways
29.III.1921
Comrade Yemshanov:
Please let me know who at the P.C.R. is in charge of
the allocation of tank cars (for oil) throughout the network
and the carriage of oil along the railways.
1) Who is responsible for this?
2) What has the People’s Commissariat done precisely
in fulfilment of the C.L.D. decision on this matter (15 or
17.XII.1920)?
99
3) Who adopted and when—and also who cancelled and
when—the order attaching oil tank cars to the various
railway lines?
4) How are the tank cars distributed throughout the
network at this moment?

NOTE MEMBERS OF THE POLITBUREAU. MARCH 29, 1921
If what you say in the last column of the first table (“ac-
tually available” on what date<) of your “reference-report”
(a paper without any date) (received on 29.III) is correct,
how do you explain that there are (183&161&22&88&9&
493&1,405&194= ) ? ,5 5 5 tank cars on 8 railway lines,
although these lines have no “filling targets”?
5) Could I have fuller data on the availability and
operation of tank cars, with the railway lines under three
heads and totals
*
for the three groups:
(a) (1) railway lines carrying oil from the Volga
(b) (2)
”
”
”
” from the Caucasus
(Grozny and Baku)
(c) (3) railway lines not carrying oil?
6) Why is the speed of the petroleum trains taken at
6 versts an hour? Are there any technical obstacles (which
exactly) for reaching the maximum speed (say, of the
military trains)? What was our pre-war speed? What is our
minimum and maximum speed in actual fact for 1920?
Please let me know which of the foregoing data you can
give me right away, and which at the earliest possible
date (when exactly?)?
With communist greetings,
Lenin

it is absolutely impossible for the 11th Army to return to
stripped and starving Azerbaijan. Take the most vigorous
measures to have the Army stay in Georgia, and at all
costs speed up the import of grain from abroad in exchange
for concessions in Georgia, manganese, etc. Reply at once.
On behalf of Politbureau,
Lenin

TELEGRAM TO G. K. ORJONIKIDZE
Code
Orjonikidze
Earnestly request most serious attention to yesterday’s
question of the Army and concessions in Georgia. The
Georgian Menshevik government has concluded a number of
concessions. We must try to do our utmost to renew the
old concessions and our best to conclude new ones as soon
as possible, so as to get foodstuffs in exchange for the con-
cessions. Show this to the Georgian Revolutionary Com-
mittee, and let me know their reply quickly.
30/III.
