Written on G. V. Chicherin’s letter of July 9, 1921, reporting the proposal of Fridtjof Nansen, representing the International Red Cross, to send food to the population of Petrograd, provided its distribution was supervised with the participation of a foreign representative (see Note 229).

Comrade Zinoviev;

I think we should agree, as an exception, with the exception strictly specified. Please have this put through the Politbureau by telephone right away.

Lenin
