Postal telegram from A. V. Lunacharsky to A. I. Rykov on the GPU prohibition of M. A. Bulgakov's Days of the Turbins. AP RF, f. 3, op. 34, d. 240, l. 2. Original.
27 September 1926
 Dear Aleksei Ivanovich.
At a meeting of the Narkompros board, with the participation of Repertkom, and including the GPU, it was decided to permit Bulgakov's play just for the Art Theater and just for this season. At Glavrepertkom's insistence, the board allowed it to make a few cuts. On Saturday evening, the GPU informed Narkompros that it was banning the play. This matter must be considered at the highest level, or else the Narkompros board's decision, which is already known, must be confirmed. Rescission of the Narkompros decision by the GPU is highly undesirable and even scandalous.
