31/I.
Comrade Unschlicht,
I am quite unable to be in the Politbureau.[1] I am feeling worse.
I believe you can do without me.
The whole point now is the purely technical measures leading to our courts intensifying (and making swifter) reprisals against the Mensheviks.
Both the courts and the CPC or the All-Russia CEC.
With communist greetings,
Lenin
- ↑ I. S. Unschlicht, asked Lenin to take part in the sitting of the Politbureau of the RCP(b) CC on February 2, 1922, during the discussion of the question of the All-Russia Cheka, in view of the differences between its Collegium and the commission set up by the Politbureau. On February 2, the Politbureau approved a draft Statute on the Dissolution of the All-Russia Cheka, and instructed Unschlicht to submit for preliminary approval by the Politbureau a Statute of the State Political Administration (G.P.U.). On February 6, 1922, the Presidium of the All-Russia C.E.C. adopted a decision on this question (see Izvestia VTsIK No. 30 of February 8, 1922). See also this volume, Documents 522 and 610.
