Letter to Nikolay Krestinsky, August 27, 1920
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1975, Moscow, Volume 44, page 424c
Written in reply to a letter to Lenin dated August 27, 1920, from N. N. Krestinsky, Secretary of the CC, RCP(b), concerning an article by A. Kolegayev, âThe Scalp Huntersâ, published in the newspaper Gudok No. 77. The author of the article attacked the Food Commissariat for requisitioning the grain brought to Moscow by one of the departments of the Peopleâs Commissariat for Railways. Krestinsky proposed that the author of the article and the editors of Gudok should be censured for such impermissible publications. On September 1, 1920, the Politbureau of the CC, RCP(b) reprimanded Kolegayev and the editors of Gudok and warned the editors âon no account to allow publication of articles of a departmental-polemical nature aimed against the Supreme Economic Council, the Peopleâs Commissariat for Food or other Commissariatsâ = (Collected Works, Fifth Ed., Vol. 51, p. 450).
I agree, with the obligatory addition to this conclusion (âreprimandâ): do not dare to introduce departmental polemics, do not dare to browbeat the Supreme Economic Council, the Commissariat for Food and other Peopleâs Commissariats.
