Written on a report from Commander-in-Chief S. S. Kamenev
to the Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council of the
Republic. He proposed that the armistice with Poland should
be utilised for the speediest rout of Wrangel’s whiteguard forces.
At the end of point 2 of Kamenev’s practical proposals—on
using part of the forces and resources of the Western Front for
military operations in the south of the country “without touching
those of the South-Western Front”—Lenin made an insertion mark = x
=

“ V” =

with a footnote: “Add = x
=

V =

until the armistice becomes an actual fact.”

Under Lenin’s proposal for approving the report of the
Commander-in-Chief is a note by Krestinsky: “Agreed. N.K. ” and
the signatures of Stalin and Bukharin.
