Copy to Smilga, CC member

I have received a complaint from Stanislaw Palinski, an old Polish revolutionary who is recommended by Steklov. Palinski has been arrested at the Berezniki soda works, Verkhstiya post-station, Perm Gubernia, on a charge of counter-revolutionary activity and sympathy for the Czechoslovaks.

Palinski writes that the Legal Commission of the Usolye Uyezd Soviet found nothing criminal in his actions.

I urgently request you to carry out a strict check and impartial examination of the matter, and allow Palinski passage to Poland.

Telegraph execution.
