P.C.F.A.

All-Russia Cheka

I have been informed that the trip abroad by Grigory Semyonovich Petrov, a chemist and an inventor, is being, impeded.

Petrov has a mandate from the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Trade, signed by Voikov, dated 29/III–1921, No. 1554 (A) 012.

There is a decision by the committee for assessing inventions of 9/II-1921, awarding Petrov a prize of 15 million rubles, etc. (signed by Mikhailovsky).

I request the P.C.F.A. and the All-Russia Cheka to issue instructions to let him go abroad at once. If there are any obstacles to this, please inform me right away.

Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars
