Again urge you to display caution and maximum good will towards the Moslems, especially on advancing into
Daghestan. Do everything to demonstrate, and in the most emphatic
manner, our sympathy for the Moslems, their autonomy, independence, etc. Give me more precise and more frequent
information on how things stand.

Lenin
