Letter to Lydia Fotiyeva, March 4, 1919
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1975, Moscow, Volume 44, page 200a.
Lydia Fotieva, secretary of the CPC, asked Lenin to take on for work in the CPC Secretariat a woman recommended by the Staff Bureau of the CPCâs Managing Department. V. D. Bonch-Bruyevich, head of the CPCâs Managing Department, objected to the appointment on the grounds that it contravened the decree forbidding relatives to work together in the same Soviet institutions (the candidate had a sister working in the CPC). Fotieva wrote to Lenin that the woman recommended âis a very valuable worker and it would be in our interests to take her on.... Could not the decree be bypassed?â
1[edit source]
Decrees cannot be bypassed: the mere proposal invites prosecution.
An exception, though, can be put through the Central Executive Committee, and I advise doing this.
2[edit source]
One must know the law: I do not remember through whom exceptions go.
