Trotsky and other members of the Politbureau must be urgently asked. I am inclined to agree provided strict
conditions are worked out and the moment put off .

[1]
Written on a report from I. S. Unschlicht, Deputy Chairman of
the All-Russia Cheka, who proposed that in order to demoralise
the whiteguard troops interned in Poland and Czechoslovakia,
on which S. V. Petlyura and B. V. Savinkov pinned their
military hopes, an amnesty should be extended to all interned
soldiers, provided that they abided by certain conditions and
limitations. This proposal was adopted by the Politbureau of the
R.C.P.(B.) Central Committee.
