Copy to Prokopiev
Prokopiev and others are flooding Larin with telegrams, asking for money.
I state that I have not received a reply to my telegram of 23. IV giving exact figures.[1] I state that such an attitude to the matter, when no reply is given as to what use has been made of hundreds of millions, and why an extra sum above the quota is needed and how much, is impermissible.
Lenin
Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars
