“In view of the commenced grain harvest work the leading comrades will leave for provinces in August, where they will remain until November. Therefore the VKP(b) CC is asking Cde. Mao Zedong to time his visit to Moscow by the end of November so as to have an opportunity to see all the leading comrades.”
Stalin.

Stalin asks Mao, through Terebin (Andrei Orlov), to visit Moscow in November so Mao will be able to see all of the important Soviet leaders.
