Comrade Radchenko:
I recommend to you the bearer of this, Nikolai Alexandrovich Yemelyanov. Please let him have a 6–month assignment for work abroad, so as to give him a chance to recover from the hard labour in Petrograd, and have a change of work.
I know Nikolai Alexandrovich very well personally, and am sure that this comrade, this absolutely honest and most loyal Communist, with vast human, industrial and Party experience, can and must be used for cleansing the Augean stables of stealing and sabotage by the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Trade officials abroad. Please phone me today.
With communist greetings,
Lenin
Comrade Lengnik:
Please read this letter and phone me (we shall later also show this letter to Iv. Iv. Radchenko). It is my earnest request that Yemelyanov should be given a suitable assignment abroad soon.
With communist greetings,
Lenin
