Kursky’s Deputy (if Kursky is absent)
Comrade Krylenko:
What are you doing for the publication of a code of laws of the Soviet power? Is the codification department asleep or is it preparing something for the fifth anniversary?
Will you wake it up and write me a couple of words.[1]
Yours,
Lenin
[1] On September 26, 1922, N. V. Krylenko gave a detailed reply to Lenin’s letter, informing him that in addition to the already adopted criminal and criminal procedure codes, the next session of the All-Russia C.E.C. to be held in October is to consider the adoption of a code of laws on the judicial system and a code on civil substantive law.
