Comrade Dzerzhinsky

Bandits have seized the Boldyrev (Rasskazovo) factories (Tambov Gubernia).

It is an absolute scandal.

I propose that the Chekists (and the Gubernia Executive Committee people) of Tambov Gubernia who were caught off their guard

1) be court-martialled,

2) that Kornev be severely reprimanded,

3) that extremely energetic people be sent there at once,

4) that a severe trimming and instructions be given by telegraph.
