Lenin, Chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars
The position in the Don as regards food organisation is
impossible. The Don food agencies have boon set up on paper, but the
appointed food officials are working in the Tambov and Saratov gubernias,
and not where they should be. The district food agencies, set up in
amateur fashion and not connected with the Don Executive
Committee, are receiving no directives and instructions, and for that reason
are not capable of working, and cannot counteract the army food
agents

Deputy Chairman, Don Executive Committee
