Myshkin, Chairman of the Gubernia Extraordinary Commission
Tsaritsyn
You cannot arrest people for disfiguring a portrait. Free Valentina Pershikova at once, and if she is a counterâ revolutionary, keep an eye on her.[1]
Lenin
Chairman, Council of Peopleâs Commissars
- â Valentina Pershikova, a member of the staff of the Tsaritsyn Housing Department, was arrested for daubing a portrait of Lenin which she had torn out of a pamphlet. Requests for Pershikovaâs release were sent in telegrams to Lenin from V. S. Usachov, chief of one of the Tsaritsyn militia stations, and from Minin, a Red Army man. On Mininâs telegram Lenin wrote the following instruction to his secretary: âRemind me when the reply comes from the Chairman of the Extraordinary Commission (and afterwards hand all the material over to the topical satirists).â (Lenin Miscellany XXIV, p. 172.)
