Transmit to Petrograd, to the Smolny, by telephone*:

Owing to the interruption by the Czechoslovaks of the Siberian Railway and the immense threat to transport, owing to the interruption of transport, the greatest danger threatens the food supply.

Comrade Vladimirov insists, and I support him, that Petrograd should urgently send to Moscow the best food workers. These workers, together with strong detachments of picked workers, can save the situation.

Do not delay. Do not wait for help from outside. Strain every effort for emergency measures on the part of the Petrograd workers.

Lenin
