Comrades Rakovsky, Podvoisky and all Ukrainian Military Commissars
Kiev
Copy to Meshcheryakov
People’s Commissariat for Agriculture

According to available information, in state farms of the Ukrainian Republic plundering and destruction of live   and dead stock is being practised by individual military commissars and army units. This is ruining the farms and threatens countless calamities in gathering the rich harvest. On pain of being held strictly answerable, take all measures for immediately putting a stop to such criminal activities; organise effective protection of the state farms, prosecute those guilty. Wire urgently what measures taken and results.

Lenin
Chairman, C.P.C.
