TELEGRAM TO THE YAKUTSK CONFERENCE OF THE POOR [3]

the toiling masses [the poor] of Yakutia liberated from
the tsarist oppression, and who are being emancipated from enslavement by the
toyons, [4] will awaken, and with the help of the Russian workers and peasants will take the
way of [communism] full consolidation of the power of the working people themselves.
