Letter to Alexander Tsiurupa, January, Not earlier than 14, 1919
Published: First published in 1965 in Collected Works, Fifth Ed., Vol. 50. Printed from the original.

Leninâs directives to Tsyurupa were written on the memorandum of the Education Commissariatâs Inter-Departmental Commission for the Purchase of Food for the Children of Moscow and Petrograd. The memorandum outlined measures for the better food provision of the children, specifically, the organisation and holding of a Starving Childrenâs Week for obtaining produce in rural localities in exchange for commodities, and for delivery of this produce to the towns.
Tsyurupa:
In any case we must prepare for, announce and hold Starving Childrenâs Week.
Perhaps it should be combined with grain requisitioning and a special mobilisation of the Poor Peasantsâ Committees.
Perhaps something more could be done for the children?
It should be.
I enclose this about meat: please return it to me as quickly as possible with the Food Commissariatâs brief comment.[1]
