Zinoviev
Smolny
Petrograd
From my talks with Ravich and Kalinin, and from Shadurskaya’s telegram I gather that nine-tenths of the top machinery of government in Petrograd are engaged in doing nothing. I advise you to think over and urgently carry out a reorganisation, by transferring tens, if not hundreds, of the best people to actual control of transport, with you yourself heading the actual control of the food trains. Otherwise there is no salvation.
