The question as to whether this “letter” is genuine or not is settled by a passage in ‘Dates of V. I. Lenin’s life and work, 6 March 1922 to 21 January 1924’. This reads: “19 March. Lenin writes to the members of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party about the need to crush decisively the clergy’s resistance to the execution of the decree of 23 February 1922 on the confiscation of church valuables, with the aim of obtaining means to fight the famine.” (V. I. Lenin, Complete Works, 5th edition, vol. 45, pp. 666-667).
