NOTE: Reply to Voroshilov's telegram of September 16, 1929: "Sochi. To Stalin. Telegraph your opinion on candidates for the post of head of the Political Administration of the RKKA [PUR]. Personally, I nominate Yakir or Gamarnik. Some people mention Postyshev and Kartvelishvili. The matter must be resolved quickly, since an unfortunate impression is being created by the absence of a deputy for Bubnov. Voroshilov."
