Concise description of the directive:
Self-criticism by Yanson, director of the Academia publishing house, made at the publishing house meeting. Yanson confessed that for three years the publishing house had been run by the enemy of the people Lev Kamenev, a vile murderer, so an attempt was made to correct the mistakes made during those years, but Yanson states that the way it was done was not very clear. The publishing house made many mistakes: neglect and carelessness in the political sphere, poorly developed self-criticism, low productivity, excessively high expenditure for editions not included in the editorial plan, and uncoordinated work of various departments.
