Comrade Sokolnikov:

The whole point is 1) in these “guarantees”. The first thing to do is to work them out and check twice and thrice;

2) in our “apparatus”. Can we manage to keep track? Shall we manage to keep an eye? No, everything imaginable will be taken out of the country.[1]

28/II. Lenin

To N. P. Gorbunov:

Send a copy of my remark to Kamenev

+ Molotov,

Stalin,

Tsyurupa.

Give me another reminder.

  1. ↑ Written under the text of the “Draft CPC Decision on the Free Entry of Foodstuffs into the Russian Soviet Federation”, proposed by G. Y. Sokolnikov and circulated among the Politbureau of the RCP(b) CC members. The final point of the draft said: “To permit the People’s Commissariat for Finance, on grounds by agreement with the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Trade, to issue permits to state establishments and enterprises and enterprises of the state trustified industry, and to co-operatives and private persons, for the right to remit and export cash, currency and all lands of valuables for the purpose of acquiring abroad foodstuffs, with adequate guarantees granted for their subsequent importation.” Lenin underscored the word “guarantees” with four lines (Central Party Archives of the Institute of Marxism-Leninism of the CPSU Central Committee).
