18. XII. 1917
Comrade Obolensky,
I recommend to you the bearer, Comrade Solovyov ( telephone 265–24), an expert on the oil industry and the author of a plan for nationalisation. He should be used!
V. Ulyanov
I gave his memorandum (on the oil industry) to Shlyapnikov. There is a copy for you too (Shlyapnikov has it).[1]
[1] In his memorandum addressed to Lenin, A. S. Solovyov drew attention to the Ukhta oilfields and asked that an order be issued to have them inspected and exploited. He enclosed with the memo a detailed description of the qualities of the Ukhta oil based on analyses of it.
Today, the Ukhta district (Komi A.S.S.R.) has a well-developed oil industry, with enterprises for oil extraction and processing.
