RGAE, f. 396, op. 11, d. 26, ll. 176-176ob. Original manuscript.

To the editors of Krest'ianskaia Gazeta

Dear editors anser this question for me: did they fire Comrade Kosorev [Kosarev] for his mistakes at the Komsomol congres, what mistake it could be I don't know, I found this out [from] Maria A. Liubanova. And write who they put in Kosorev's place wich leader. Not a single Komsomol member knows here, and the leader of the Komsomol organization of the Khomiakovskaia incomplete secondary school Comrade Maria Andreevna Liubanova probably dosnt know either. She dosnt keep discipline in school. Yegor Libanov a pupil in the 7th grade talks, fools around and distracts others in class and during recess he dosnt let anybody play billiards he argues kicks gets into fights and insults his comrades.
