Letter to Comrades Ivan Gubkin, A. I. Tsevchinsky, Ivan Strizhov and Nikolai Nikolaevich Smirnov, February 23, 1921
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1976, Moscow, Volume 45, pages 88c-89a.
Written in connection with the fact that on February 19, 1921, L. B. Krasin submitted a report to Lenin entitled âConcessions for the Working of Oil in Baku and Grozny, and the Attitude to This Question of the Central Oil Administrationâ. For details see this volume, Documents 95, 104, 105 and 112, and also present edition, Vol. 32, pp. 134â35.
23.II.1921
In view of the reports sent in to the Central Oil Administration on the question of the flooding of oil wells and the consequent threat of disaster, please let me have today, if possible, any material you may have at hand (books, magazines, reports, etc.) on foreign laws or local regulations penalising oil industrialists for leaving wells uncovered, failing to provide cementation, its faulty application, etc.
Let me have either the laws themselves, or, if these are not immediately available, references to the corresponding books or magazine articles or handbooks, so that I could get them from the library.
Please reply by telephone today.
Lenin
Chairman, CPC
