Comrade Krasikov:

Yesterday, the Orgbureau suspended the case (Moscow disciplinary court) and referred it to the People’s Commissariat for Justice.

Now you must let me have your opinion on Monday.

I advise:

(α) a brief report in the press (whom can we ask to do it?) beginningwith the case of Mayakovsky versus Skvortsov^[1] ;

(β) the law must without fail be specified or amended in a legislative procedure. Memo about this on Monday.

Could this he done togetherwith the All-Russia Central T.U.C.?

Awaiting your reply,^[2]
Lenin
