TO RUZAYEVKA *
May 31, 1918

Until Myasnikov’s arrival1 and until all affairs are handed over, it is impossible and inadmissible to leave.

At what hour did you last receive information and from whom in Penza? How many thousand Czechs are there and when did they leave for Samara? When will Myasnikov arrive? [Send him] bring him to the apparatus for a talk with me. What guarantee is there of the accuracy of the information about the expedition?

Lenin.

The first note was transmitted to Ruzayevka on May 31 at 10:20 a.m. and again at 11:20 p.m.; the second—on May 31 at 10:52 p.m. and again at 11:25 p.m. —Ed.

TWO NOTES VIA DIRECT WIRE TO V. V. KURAYEV

I have just received a telegram from Minkin2 asking me to give him a train for his arrival with a report.

I insist on Minkin’s trip to Penza, if the Czechs have left, to take over and verify the expedition.

Lenin
