To Comrade Molotov for All Members of the Politbureau

I think that “Bespartiiny” in today’s Pravda is proposing a perfectly correct and timely plan.[1]

I move that a commission be set up to elaborate it immediately and put it into effect as quickly as possible, this commission to consist of Molotov (replaceable by some body appointed by the Secretariat of the Central Committee or the Orgbureau), Yakovenko, Teodorovich and the “Bespartiiny” in question.

Lenin

  1. This refers to an article entitled “The Ninth Congress of Soviets and the Peasantry” published in Pravda on January 27, 1922, over the signature Bespartiiny (Non-Party-Man). The writer propounded a plan for popularising among the peasantry the decisions of the Ninth All-Russia Congress of Soviets on peasant questions. Lenin’s motion was adopted by the Politbureau on January 28, 1922.
