S. G. SHAUMYAN

Dear Comrade Shaumyan,

Many thanks for your letter. We are delighted with your firm and resolute policy. If you can combine it with the most cautious diplomacy, which is absolutely essential in the present extremely difficult situation, we shall be victorious.

The difficulties are immense. For the time being we are saved only by the contradictions, conflicts and struggle among the imperialists. You must know how to take advantage of these conflicts. For the time being you must learn diplomacy.

Best greetings and wishes, and greetings to all friends.

Yours,
Lenin
