Add to the Moscow and Petrograd Soviets (in communicating today’s decision on market gardens)[1] that we are also expecting them to adopt measures for taking stock of and confiscating surpluses from the suburban market gardeners.[2]

  1. ↑ Lenin is referring to the decision of the CPC of May 27, 1920, on food resources, directing the Moscow and Petrograd Soviets “to give special attention to the need to increase the amount of market-garden products obtained from the environs of the capitals this year and to submit to the CPC within a fortnight their proposals for possible measures”. = (Collected Works, Fifth Ed., Vol. 51, p. 427.)
  2. ↑ The document bears a note by Fotieva: “In the minutes or only in the telephone message?” in which V. I. Lenin underlined three times the words “only in the telephone message”.—Ed.
