Lenin’s instruction to Petrovsky was written on the text of a report on the situation in Kursk Gubernia presented by an official of the Military Inspection. The latter reported dissatisfaction among the working people of Kursk Gubernia caused by abuses on the part of local Soviet and Party functionaries, the poor organisation of agitation and propaganda in the countryside and the weakness of the Party organisations in the gubernia.

Comrade Petrovsky,

I am told that the author is an honest man and a Party member. Please institute an investigation by dependable people. Notify me whom you have appointed.

Lenin
