RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF PEOPLE'S COMMISSARS OF THE
UKRAINIAN SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLIC (6 DECEMBER 1932)
Drafted by Joseph Stalin
In connection with the shameful wrecking of the grain procurement plan, which was
organized by counter-revolutionary elements with the participation of some Communists and
with a passive or indifferent attitude by Party organizations in some regions, the Council
of People's Commissars and the CP(b)U have decided to place these regions on the blacklist
and to apply to them the following repressive measures:
- To halt trade of consumer goods to these regions and to halt all state and cooperative
trade, for which purpose state and cooperative shops in these regions will be closed and
existing goods will be removed;
- To ban the trade in consumer goods that collective farms and individual enterprises have
been conducting until now;
- To halt all credits for these regions and to withdraw all the credits that have already
been issued to them;
- To change the personnel of the local administrative and economic leadership, eliminating
all hostile elements;
- To do the same in the collective farms, eliminating from them all the hostile elements
that took part in the wrecking of grain procurements.
