Tashkent. CC CP(b) of Uzbekistan. To Comrade Andreev.

If the plenum demands the arrest of Ikramov, he may be arrested; if not, for now it will suffice to relieve him of his post as secretary and send him to the disposal of the CC VKP(b). Ikramov's further fate is to be decided in Moscow after your return.

How do the local responsible workers regard the candidacy of Segizbaev? What kind of man is Tyurabekov? Who will remain as chairman of the Council of People's Commissars? Who will be temporary first secretary of the CC of Uzbekistan? Are you planning to visit Tajikistan? When?

Note:

"Since there remained no doubts whatsoever that Ikramov is an enemy," Andreev wrote to Stalin, "the plenum of the CC of Uzbekistan unanimously demanded the arrest of Ikramov and adopted unanimously the resolution, introduced by the Uzbek workers, to remove him from the post of secretary, expel him from the party, and immediately arrest Ikramov, after which Ikramov was arrested."
