Vyacheslav!

You have probably already received the new depositions of Groman, Kondratyev, and Makarov. Yagoda brought them to show me. I think that all these depositions, together with Groman's first deposition, should be distributed to all members of the CC and the CCC, as well as to our most active economic managers. These are documents of first-rate importance.

Warm regards.

Stalin.

NOTE

On August 10, 1930, the Politburo decided to distribute the depositions of those arrested in the "Toiling Peasant Party" case to members and candidate members of the CC and the CCC, and to leading economic cadres.
