Kharkov, to People's Commissar Antonov

I have received your telegram. I welcome the accession of the Cossacks, whose delegates are already here and have entered the Congress of Soviets 40. As regards Mogilev, I have just passed this on to Podvoisky and will also pass it on to Krylenko; concerning the land question on the Don, I advise bearing in mind the text of the resolution on the federation of Soviet republics adopted the day before yesterday at the Congress of Soviets. This resolution should fully reassure the Cossacks 41. Please inform the secretariat that Zatonsky has left for Kharkov; and that, before leaving for Kharkov, he asked that Comrade Artyom be appointed his deputy.

Reply immediately.

Lenin
