Notes

[1] Owing to food difficulties, the crop failure and the need for ren-dering relief to the famine-stricken areas, the Politbureau, on September 6, 1921. adopted a decision on directives to the Food Commissariat with Lenin’s amendments. The directives provided for a reduction in the number of recipients of state food supplies as from October 1921, and the establishment of a grain fund.
