Letter to the Commissariat for Food and the Food Department of the Supreme Economic Council, January 26, 1918
This document and the note to the secretary which follows it were written by Lenin in connection with a memorandum received from the Food and Economic Committee of the Territorial Soviet of Western Siberia and the Urals, which reported that the Omsk railway was sabotaging the dispatch of food consignments to the west, as a result of which over a thousand loaded trucks remained stationary. The committee requested the appointment of an emergency commission of investigation. This memorandum was delivered by delegates from Urals factories, who had arrived with a train-load of grain.

The bearers, Comrades Suvorov and Antropov, are delegates of the Regional Committee of the Urals Soviets. It is necessary to authorise them to adopt the most revolutionary measures to ensure the movement to Petrograd of railway trucks with grain from Siberia.
