Comrade Nikolayev
People’s Commissariat for Posts and Telegraphs
I propose that you urgently appoint a commission of three radio specialists to carry out the final trials of the results achieved at the laboratory in Bogorodskoye Village, of which you are aware.[1]
It is desirable to have at least one responsible Communist on the commission.
V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
Chairman, C.P.C.
[1] A reference to S. I. Botin’s experiment in the remote control of powder explosions in 1920 and 1921. In October 1921, a specialists’ commission gave a negative opinion on his trials and proposed that they should be stopped because, of inadequate preparation.
