NOTE TO THE PEOPLE'S COMMISSARIAT FOR MILITARY AFFAIRS
June 1918
There is here (arrived from Astrakhan - Baku - Tsaritsyn) a Caucasian
commissar Ivanov,—seems to be an excellent warrior and capable
of suppressing kulak uprisings in the real sense. He is eager
to go to the Czechoslovak front. He asks to be given 500 people. Is it not
possible to quickly satisfy his request? And to what extent?
