11 The President of the Kolkhoz said they had enough seed, but
that more towards the S.[outh] there was a lack of
seed. He said that two families had been sent away from the village of 120 dvor.
Probably he was kind-hearted.
The discussion was v[ery] open, the peasants saying that it had never been so bad, the Pres. saying faint-heartedly that great sacrifices had to be made.
One peasant: “If only Lenin had lived, we’d be living fine. He knew what was going to happen. Here they’ve been chopping and changing policy & we don’t know what’s going to happen next. Lenin would not have done something violently and then said that it was an oшибka (mistake).”
