Comrade Krasin

The substance of the Politbureau’s decision communicated to you was that all agreements concluded by you in gold currency should first be endorsed by the Politbureau. It is absolutely necessary to economise gold to the utmost. The Politbureau sees no business grounds for rescinding its decision.

On behalf of the Politbureau,

Lenin
