Please see that Citizen Tyrkov, one of the last of the Mohicans of the heroic group of Narodovoltsi, involved in the March trial for the assassination of Alexander II— Citizen Tyrkov is now in extreme old age—

is provided with two or three dessiatines of land from his former estate and two cows for his family.

Orders for this to be given urgently by the People’s Commissar for Agriculture, Comrade Sereda, 

and by the People’s Commissar for Food, Comrade Tsyurupa (or his deputy), by agreement, by telegraph, with the local gubernia executive committee.^[1]

Chairman, C.P.C.

I ask the People’s Commissars to sign whether they agree or not.
