I request you not to hinder or stop the work of artist Rodionov, engineer Smirnov and the electricians who are preparing, on my assignment, maps of electrification on the premises of the Bolshoi Theatre for the Eighth Congress of Soviets.[3] They will be through on Sunday. Do not expel them in any case.[1]
V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars
