Letter to the Narrow Council of People's Commissars, October 21, 1920
Lenin wrote this note to the Narrow Council of Peopleâs Commissars on a letter from Maxim Gorky. In view of the fact that the Petrograd Commune was proposing to requisition the products which had been supplied by permission of the Peopleâs Commissariat for Food to the Petrograd Commission for Improving Scientistsâ Living Conditions, Maxim Gorky, Chairman of the Commission, asked the Council of Peopleâs Commissars to pass a decision stating: âProducts supplied by gubernia food committees, with the permission of the Peopleâs Commissariat for Food, to the Petrograd Commission for Improving Scientistsâ Living Conditions are not to be requisitioned by the Petrograd Commune nor to be counted by the latter as part of the ration quota endorsed by the Council of Peopleâs Commissars, for Petrograd scientists.â __PRINTERS_P_999_COMMENT__ p. 453
Please go into this matter as quickly as possible. It is evident from the enclosed that the instruction of the Food Commissariat (of the centre) puts these products at the disposal of the Commission for Improving Scientistsâ Living Conditions. Hence, without the consent of the centre, Petrograd has no right to requisition them or take them into account!
Lenin
