The instruction to G. I. Petrovsky, Peopleâs Commissar for Internal Affairs, was written by Lenin on a telegram he received on December 16, 1918, from peasants of Budilovo village (Yaroslavl Gubernia) complaining against the Chairman of the local Poor Peasantsâ Committee who had confiscated grain from them although they had no surpluses. They asked protection of Lenin, as âhead of the peasant governmentâ.
Petrovsky
I demand immediate institution of the strictest investigation and a report to me on its institution and the result.
Lenin
