Kharlov, People’s Commissar for Agriculture
Petrovsk, Saratov Gubernia
If all forces in your uyezd have been mobilised, then obviously you must ask for threshing detachments of workers from here, for the harvesting of grain must be speeded up many times over. Telegraph daily how many waggons are being sent off, under what markings and where from. Announce a big bonus for the volost that is the first to sweep up all grain surpluses. Draw up lists by volosts of the richest peasants, who are answerable with their lives for the proper progress of the work to supply grain to the starving capital cities.
Lenin
Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars
