To Schmidt, Bobrov, Voronin, Krenkel,
all Chelyuskinites

We greet and warmly congratulate the valiant Chelyuskinites, who bravely and in an organized manner fought the harsh polar elements and steadfastly endured two months of captivity in the ice.

We are submitting a petition to the Central Executive Committee of the USSR:

1) for the awarding of the Order of the "Red Star" to all Chelyuskinites, as well as to Ushakov and Petrov;

2) for the construction in Moscow of a monument in memory of the polar voyage of the Chelyuskin;

3) for the payment to all Chelyuskinites of a one-time award in the amount of a half-year's salary.
