Comrade Molotov:
I wrote you about the need to punish Badayev (for frustrating the C.L.D. decision; fulfilled by the Muscovites).[1] You have not replied.
Such things must he settled speedily.
Kamenev and Zinoviev agree. Write the minutes of the Politbureau decision for the passage through the Presidium of the All-Russia C.E.C.: “For failure to fulfil a C.L.D. decision (on reducing rations by 30 per cent)—which the Muscovites have carried out—Comrade Badayev + two of his closest assistants shall be placed under detention for one Sunday.”
That will give us “control”!!
