Letter to Alexei Rykov, December 3, 1921
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1976, Moscow, Volume 45, pages 396b-397a.
3/XII.
Dear Alexei Ivanovich:
So the decision on your trip has been taken. It has been passed through the Politbureau.[1] You will have to remain until the second operation and full recovery. I have seen Tsyurupa and have his opinionâan excellent oneâ about treatment by the Germans. I have no doubt that you will be fully cured (I saw a doctorâs report about you) provided you display just a bit of patience. ââââ I am sending you the decision on Tsyurupa and my outline of a plan for the organisation of his work and yours.[2]
The first and second deputies, as you will see from the plan, will have to break new ground. We have decided, for the time being, until your return and the experiment with Tsyurupa, that this plan is not to be turned into a decision. We shall first try it out and check it in practice. Let me know what you think.
Good-bye for the time being, and take your treatment seriously.
Yours,
Lenin
