We received information that in the Alekseevsky district, the chairman of the executive committee Makarov, the chairman of the collective farm union Suvorov, the district nab Reshetnikov, the head of the district ZO Sivolapov were driving around the collective farms and giving orders to stop grain-giving. They have been arrested, but have not yet been convicted. We offer: first - to arrest all similar criminals in other areas; the second is to immediately judge and give five, preferably ten years in prison. Publish the verdict with motivation in the press. Report execution.
