Comrade Y. M. Yurovsky
(address: All-Russia Cheka or the People’s Commissariat
for Finance)
Comrade Yurovsky:
Because of a secretarial error, I received your letter of 2/VI only today, 10/VI.[1]
You must act through all the bodies (the C.C. especially), introducing precise proposals on the best way to run the business.
You are a participant, and the responsibility is yours.
If things are badly run, set them right by introducing formal proposals.
That you have already told me is not at all enough.[2]
With communist greetings,
Lenin
[1] In a letter of June 2, 1921, Y. M. Yurovsky, assigned to work at the State Depository of Valuables (Gokhran), asked Lenin whether he should work through the C.P.C., the C.L.D., the All-Russia C.E.C., and the R.C.P.(B.) C.C. and also through the press, to secure implementation of his proposals to reorganise Gokhran, or wait for the results of an inquiry into the theft of state valuables. See this volume, Documents 173, 180, 216 and 221.
