Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1976, Moscow, Volume 45, page 441b.
19.I.1922.
Comrade Krasin:
Concerning Larin, to the Politbureau decision of 17.I.[1] I add:
1. Keep him in London as long as possible.
2. If you take any of his figures on trust, we shall sack you.
3. Take care of his health, provide better treatment, appoint a responsible doctor.
4. Give him a long literary job with German and English sources (if he does not know English, teach him).
Carry out points 1, 3 and 4 with especial strictness and especial tact. Point 2âthree times as strictly.
With communist greetings,
Lenin
P.S. The Vneshtorg apparatus is downright bad. Lezhava is weak. There is need for a better man. The grain is needed desperately and urgently. Put into this everything you have. It is your responsibility.[2]
