B. Bazhanov (Б. Бажанов) Apuntes del secretario de Stalin (Записки секретаря Сталина) Capítulo 12: “… a finales de 1923, cuando fue derrotada la oposición de derecha, el Politburó no tenía bien visto al Secretario del Comité de Moscú del partido, Zelenski.

«…в конце 1923 года, когда разразилась правая оппозиция, Политбюро было недовольно секретарем Московского Комитета партии Зеленским. Летом 1924 года тройка, еще действуя в согласии, перевела его первым секретарем Среднеазиатского Бюро ЦК.».

He was said to have used his position as head of the state distribution network to sabotage the distribution of food by "spoiling" fifty truckloads of eggs, as well as "throwing nails and broken glass into the masses' butter with a view to undermining Soviet health."
