Letter to Semyon Sereda and Alexander Tsiurupa, April 7, 1919
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1975, Moscow, Volume 44, page 207b.
Leninâs letter was written following a talk with F. I. Bodrov, Chief of the Supply Section of the Sokolniki Forest School. There is a note from Lenin to the Commandant of the Kremlin, written on April 7, 1919: âPlease admit the bearer, Comrade Filipp Ilyich Bodrov, to the Kremlin and the Council of Peopleâs Commissars. V. Ulyanov (Lenin), Chairman, CPCâ = (Lenin Miscellany XXIV, p. 288).
Regarding Bodrov, see also Collected Works, Fifth Ed., Vol. 50, Document 555.
Sereda and Tsyurupa
Peasant Filipp Ilyich Bodrov (living in Forest School, Sokolniki, Moscow)âformerly a Petrograd worker, over 20 years in the Partyâwho has a farm in Venev Uyezd, Tula Gubernia (about 20 members of the family living together, undivided, a âmiddle peasantâ), assures me that grain can be carted to Moscow over a distance of up to 200 versts (his village is 180 versts from Moscow). We have grain, he says, we also have surpluses.
We have missed the winter period, he says, but after the sowing (which ends at about St. Nicholasâs Day[1] ) there will be about a monthâs free time (before dung carting, about a week before St. Peterâs Day[2] ). This, he says, should be utilised.
Information should be collected urgently, at once, and if there is even a slight chance, this measure should be carried out, for there will be no consignments from the cast.
