Comrade Sosnovsky:
I have received your letter concerning Yezhov.
I very much doubt that we could afford to let 1,000– 1,500 warehouse and office workers get
1,250,000–1,500,000 (Soviet) rubles a month.
I think: work out bonuses for rapid clearing of warehouse in economic enterprise (state plant, factory, state farm, etc.).
It is up to Yezhov to put through your other proposals (and a copy for me).
Let us have a precise and short draft.
With communist greetings,
Lenin
[1] Written in reply to L. S. Sosnovsky’s letter, setting out his plan to improve the work of the S.E.C.’s state warehouses. Among the measures he proposed were: to secure a salary of from 30 to 50 gold rubles for 1,000–1,500 warehouse workers and employees, and up to 75 rubles for executive workers; to set deadlines for the storage of goods, etc.
