Note to Vyacheslav Molotov and Assignment to Secretary, September 4, 1921
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1976, Moscow, Volume 45, page 286.
Written on A. S. Kiselyovâs letter, saying that lie had sent Lenin a draft of the âBasic Propositions on the Rating Questionâ drawn up by members of the Narrow CPC (A. S. Kiselyov, A. A. Belov and Y. I. Gindin) and approved by a conference of heads of the major production associations, attended by nearly 30 men. This draft was based on the directives of the RCP(b) Central Committee. Having acquainted himself with the draft theses, Lenin made his corrections, emphasising the direct connection between remuneration for labour and the results of production (see Lenin Miscellany XXIII, pp. 258â60). After an all-round discussion by the RCP(b) Central Committee, the CLD, at a joint silting of the bureaus of Party groups of the All-Russia Central T.U.C., the Moscow gubernia T.U.C. and the Party group of the SEC Presidium, the âBasic Propositions on the Rating Questionâ were approved by the CPC on September 16, and published in Izvestia VTsIK No. 207, on September 17, 1921. See also Collected Works, Fifth (Russian) Edition, Vol. 53, Documents 277, 278 and 279.
Urgent
Comrade Molotov:
In view of the extreme importance of this question and its (I hope) indisputable nature, I propose that this should be circulated for reading by all members of the Politbureau, and approved by phone (I consider my amendments adopted, if they are not questioned either by the CC members or the members of the commission: if they are questioned, I suggest adoption without these amendments, so as not to drag things out). Be sure to pass it also through the All-Russia Central T.U.C. and to publish it on behalf of the CPC, with this obligatory indication: approved by both the All-Russia Central T.U.C. and the RCP Central Committee.
I am sending these theses to Oborin in Petrograd on Monday, 5/IX, asking him to phone his opinion. It is important to have the opinion (and I hope consent) of the Petrograd trade union functionaries.
Comrade Molotov: A list of these 30 persons should be obtained and kept at the CC archives together with the date of this conference.
Lenin
4/IX.
Send urgently to Molotov after Lepeshinskayaâs entry of the amendments.
