Comrade Molotov,
Please put two proposals for the Politbureau to the vote by telephone:
1) Not to publish the decision of the Politbureau on the figure of a single grain tax pending a new decision after the State Planning Commission has completed and submitted its calculations.
(Krzhizhanovsky yesterday complained to me bitterly that they had been doing a big job on these calculations, but it was broken off without him having even been given a hearing. Please give him another 3â4 days and do not publish until then.)
2) The newspaper Kooperativnoye Dyelo to be closed down. Arrangements to be made with Ekonomicheskaya Zhizn for using the material.[1]
Lenin
- â Kooperativnoye Dyelo (Co-operative Business)âa socio-economic, co-operative and trade daily, organ of Centrosoyuz. The Editor-in-Chief was N. L. Meshcheryakov. Publication started on February 1, 1922.
Leninâs motion (see the next document) was put before the Politbureau at its meeting on February 15, 1922. A decision was passed âTo require the editorial board of Kooperativnoye Dyelo to submit to the Politbureau within three days an explanation in writing concerning the newspaperâs publication, its character, the composition of its editorial board, staff and contributorsâ (Central Party Archives, Institute of Marxism-Leninism of the CC, CPSU). The question was dealt with a second time on February 22, when it was decided to postpone the closing down of the newspaper for a fortnight. A final decision was reached in May, the newspaper Kooperativnoye Dyelo being converted into a weekly.
