Comrade Lezhava:
A few days ago I saw in one of the papers (it may have even been Pravda) an item about the turnover of the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Trade (in the Crimea) involving 20 million rubles in gold.[1]
Where does this come from?
Have you an arrangement for the local accounting of turnover, with a division into purchases and sales, and then by the main groups of products?
Please reply to N. P. Gorbunov and write in the greatest possible detail about the state of the accounting.
V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
Chairman, C.P.C.
[1] An apparent reference to the item “Vneshtorg Activity in Sevastopol” which appeared in Pravda on December 6, 1921.
