Notes:
[1]
This telegram is in reply to one from Ekaterinburg dated April
30, 1918, from the Regional Board of Nationalised Enterprises,
reporting that rumours were current about the denationalisation
of the Bogoslovsk mining district. Lenin attached great
importance to the speedy exposure of these false rumours which could mislead the working masses. On the telegram from Ekaterinburg,
Lenin wrote the following note: “Received 2/V.1918 at 7 p.m.
I demand investigation into the reason for two days’ delay.
Lenin. ”
