English Translation

02 - 17 - Russia has been sent forcibly to the territories of the Far East. But also some of the workers who have been severely punished for minor labour offences, as well as those who have few earnings, are to be reckoned with this circle. The most severe opponents of the Stalin regime are composed of former party members who were excluded because of their oppositional attitude. These include almost consistently old Bolsheviks and even higher functionaries who were long-standing members of the party. It should be pointed out that it was precisely from them that the unrest broke out in the Soviet Union and that they were also the leaders. For example, the leaders of the unrest that broke out at Tverskoi-Sichoslavsk Rayon in 1930 were former Communists B a r a - n o w and former Partisans K r a wt - s c h e n k o . The leaders of the uprisings in the eastern Siberian territories in 1930/34 were also, if former communist party members, also those of the unrest in the Black Sea area in 1930. They were then called upon to stop the collectives, to leave the resettlements, rather to lend to the peasants for the purchase of cereals and cattle. The request was also made to reintroduce free trade in agricultural products in the Soviet Union.
