TELEGRAM TO G. Y. SOKOLNIKOV

Sokolnikov

In cipher

At all costs the revolt must be liquidated quickly and completely. Beloborodov has been sent by the C.C.

The telegram is also signed by E. M. Sklyansky, Deputy Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council. Ed.


I fear you are mistaken in not applying severity, but if you are absolutely certain that there are no forces for a fierce and merciless suppression, then telegraph immediately and in detail. Is it not possible to promise an amnesty and at that price to disarm completely? Reply at once. We are sending two more command courses.
