Letter to Lev Khinchuk, July 29, 1921
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1976, Moscow, Volume 35, pages 513-514.
July 29
Comrade Khinchuk,
They say you are leaving? For how many months? Before your departure it is essential that you should both officially get your âdeputyâ appointed and, unofficially, should let me know to which of the Communists who are fully experienced people (2â3 of them) in the Central Union of Consumersâ Co-operative Societies I can address myself.
Then before your departure you must tell me, very briefly, when the machinery of the co-operative movement will begin working at last.
What I mean is this:
(1) In how many volosts (of such-and-such gubernias) are there shops (co-operatives) and, consequently, your trading agents, and in how many are there none? How many per volost?
(2) How many of the shops (agents) reply promptly to all the questions of the centre, and render reports? Once a week? Once a fortnight?
(3) How many volost shops have received goods, and which (even the briefest replies)? Salt? Kerosene? Textiles? etc.
(4) How many replies are there about the amount of surpluses and raw materials held by the peasants (which can be acquired in exchange for this or that)?
grain?
other foodstuffs?
industrial raw materials? etc.
(5) How much have you exchanged during I he period under review? Of what, for what?
In my opinion, so long as there are no such reports, there is nothing. Only talk.
I await your reply.
With communist greetings,
Lenin
