HOW LENIN PUNISHED A PEASANTS WRONGDOER
A Vladimirskaya fairytale
Written down by L.Ilyinsky in Vladimirskaya province apparently at the end of 1925 or in the beginning of 1926.

Lenin had a helpmate, the closest one, who was an allotment commissar. And once they told Lenin, that that very friend of his did injustice to peasants and lived unjustly, not saving the national wealth.
Lenin called him and said:
- Is it true, my dear friend?
The one kept silent with his head down.
And Lenin told him:
- You have no right to oppress the peasant. Because the peasant is a great national power, and he produces bread. So, as you are my friend, I must give you exemplary punishment.
At that moment Lenin kissed his friend, said goodbye to him, turned away, and ordered to shoot him.
There you have him, Lenin... He loved justice.
