The Comic Sketch about the sending of words of attention from Lenin to Isetsky
Sverdlov comes to Lenin:
- Vladimir Ilyich! The economy isn't working!
Lenin looks at Sverdlov.
Sverdlov continues to speak:
- People are starving.
Lenin looks carefully at Sverdlov.
Sverdlov continues:
- In Kronstadt - the revolt of sailors! The army isn't reliable!
Lenin heard the word "sailors". He answers Sverdlov:
- Yakov Mikhailovich! We need to find such a link of a chain, having captured which, we could be able to pull an all a chain!
- Yes, Vladimir Ilyich! About what chain do you speak?
- Look in the museum of the Revolution of 1905, Yakov Mikhailovich! The sailor Zheleznyak had a chain. Where now this chain?
- May I use the phone, Vladimir Ilyich?
Sverdlov quickly found out everything. Chain somewhere was found, and urgently was stationed in a right place.
Lenin heard that the chain was installed, and looked at Sverdlov.
Vladimir Bonch-Bruyevich with Leonid Krasin have entered this moment. Bonch-Bruyevich has addressed Lenin:
- Vladimir Ilyich! The letter from Vladimir Korolenko!
- Read, Vladimir Dmitrievich!
Bonch-Bruyevich began to read, then hesitated:
- The strange phrase, Vladimir Ilyich!
- What do you mean?
- "As for a chain, on which you hope, check a traces of damages at this chain, traces from a saw or a something else ... And take a care that a steam of your locomotive would hasn't gone away into a whistle ..."
While they listened to the letter from Korolenko, phone call has sounded. News has come:
"The chain has broken! The mentioned link of the chain was damaged! Perhaps, damaged at the factory. A steam is going away into a whistle."
Sverdlov glanced at the Lenin:
- What to answer Korolenko?
Lenin looked at Krasin:
- Yes, by the way, I ask you to transfer my words of attention to Solomon (Isetsky) and tell him about the new direction, about the new tactics, about the new economic policy, - his bourgeois heart will rejoice to this first step on the way of restoration of rights of bourgeoisie and democracy...
The technical secretary of the Central Committee have entered an office-room:
- The telegram from London, from Isetsky! Isetsky informs - after the visiting of a theatre: "... you aren't able to play a flute, and you want to play my soul...". ' You would play upon me... yet you cannot play upon me'. 'O wretched state! O bosom black as death! O limed soul, that, struggling to be free...'.
Lenin has commented: "Not theaters it is necessary to visiting, and - by bicycle to ride to the library of the British museum". Then he has put on a coat:
- Poor quality of production. I go to Michelson's plant. It is necessary to explain to comrades workers an advantage of days of a community work! As for the damages of a chain ... I'll be merciless to anything that smells like counter-revolution!.. And against counter-revolutionaries whoever they are (he has clearly emphasized), I possess the comrade Uritsky!..
- Reserve the car for Vladimir Ilyich's trip to the settlement of Gorki Leninskiye, - Sverdlov said to Bonch-Bruyevich. Bonch-Bruyevich has nodded in reply.
Lenin's colleagues have gone to the offices. Krasin has begun preparation for a trip to London for transfer of words of attention from Lenin to Isetsky
