Letter to Lev Kamenev, October 30, 1922
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1976, Moscow, Volume 45, page 587b
30.X.1922
Comrade Kamenev:
Krzhizhanovsky informed me on Friday night[1] that Comrade Pyatakov erroneously passed the military estimates at a figure several tens of trillions of rubles higher than agreed.
Yesterday I learned that you had failed to correct this mistake in the CPC You propose, as you say, to leave it for the time being. Having thought about this I find that this is an extremely dangerous and unreliable way, which is incorrect in principle, and is inconvenient in every respect.
I propose that we meet at my place today, on Monday, either from 1 to 2, or from 6 to 7, together with Stalin (Zinoviev and Molotov) and agree on convening the Politbureau, I think, this very day.
The CPC decision should be reversed at once, and Pyatakov reprimanded. Otherwise, we shall find ourselves entangled for a long time; I am very sorry for my proposal (which is a late one), but I cannot do otherwise.
I am sending a copy to Comrade Stalin.[2]
With communist greetings,
Lenin
