Comrade Kamenev:

Badaich[1] has earnestly requested me to help them in having the old Yakunchikov estate and the Khodynski farmstead transferred to the MCC.[2]

He argues that they are close to Moscow. This would give Muscovites a vegetable garden and a farm.

He says that the Gubernia Land Department will handle the supplies itself.

Badaich refers to the good experience gained in Petrograd, where a farm was run on model lines.

In principle: the city’s interest should have an effect on the “diligence”. Badayev is right in principle.

Or we could do this: let Badaich have it, and give the Gubernia Land Department a formal order: you must not lag behind with your state farms, and make a comparison in the autumn.

Lenin

P.S. In general, press forward with the vegetablegarden campaign. Should we raise this in the Council of Labour and Defence? To provide the pressure?
