Zinoviev
Smolny
Petrograd

Today I severely reprimanded the Technical Committee of the Northern Economic Council for procrastination. Explain to the Economic Council of the Northern Area that   its duty is to expedite experiments and ensure speedy fulfilment of the assignments of the Science and Technology Department of the Supreme Economic Council. If the document from the Technical Committee dated November  13, No. 646, is not merely a case of procrastination and stupidity, but malicious sabotage, then I demand an investigation and the arrest of those guilty.

Lenin
Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars
