Lenin wrote this telegram in connection with a complaint reaching him from P. I. Surkov, a former member of the Social– Democratic group in the Third Duma, against the decision of the Extraordinary Commission of the town of Rodniki (Ivanovo-Voznesensk Gubernia) to confiscate his library. Surkov reported that while objecting to the transfer of the library to Rodniki, he agreed to hand over the books for teaching young people in his own village. Regarding Surkov’s library, see also documents 228, 229 and 235 in this volume.
