[2] Written on a telephone message to the Council of People’s Commissars from D. A. Trilisser, secretary of the Petrograd Executive Committee, who asked for a postponement in presenting data on the development of suburban farms and on the stocktaking and confiscation of surplus produce from the market gardeners. On Lenin’s motion, the Council of People’s Commissars on June 29, 1920, censured the Petrograd Soviet for “its impermissible procrastination in this matter”.
