Letter to V.R. Menzhinsky, August 9, 1930

I received your report. Your point of view is correct. There can be no doubt about that. But the trouble is that the results of the operation to confiscate small silver coins are simply pitiful. 280 thousand rubles is such a negligible sum that it was not worth providing a report about. Evidently, they gave the cashiers a small scare and then relaxed, as so often happens with us. Not good.
