It's offered to your attention the unique letter where Stalin expresses his full approval for industrial intellectuals purge in Ukraine initiated by proposal of Nikita Hruschev in 1938 when he became the First Secretary of the Ukraine Communist Party Central Committee. In other words, this letter shows that Stalin accepted Hruschev's proposal to execute the intellectuals.
After Stalin's death in 1953, Hruschev leaded the Soviet Union. So, this document is a sample of intelligent people liquidation organized by two Soviet leaders - the current (Stalin) and the future (Hruschev).
The goal of this document is Stalin's approval on Hruschev's proposal letter regarding intellectuals liquidation.
