[July 12, 1918]
Saratov
To Antonov
I will forward your telegram to Trotsky.
I already telegraphed Ivanov
2, who is going to Baku
3, and I repeat once again that if he is needed in Saratov, then he should help the Saratovians especially if the need is extreme, if our army is surrounded.
Let Ivanov give me an answer.
Lenin
1 V. P. Antonov-Saratovsky - Chairman of the Saratov Provincial Executive Committee.
2 V. G. Ivanov (Kavkazsky) - in 1917-1918 - a member of the Tbilisi Committee of the Party, the executive committee of the regional Soviet of the Caucasian Army, the presidium of the eastern part of the Central Fleet, the head of the military flying detachment of the Moscow Military District. Until 1921, he was at the fronts of the civil war.
3 V. I. Lenin telegraphed V. G. Ivanov on July 7, 1918, about permission to go to Baku, provided the situation in Volsk was favorable. By this time, the counter-revolutionary revolt of the Left SRs had been suppressed there.

NOTE TO G. V. CHICHERIN

[July 18, 1918]
To Chicherin
The question you asked (today in writing), in my opinion, is resolved simply and absolutely:
yes (a political j y r g agreement à la Joffe, must be concluded, without giving away Estland, Livland and Georgia, but registering their occupation by Germany).
Did you send a ciphered dispatch to Joffe regarding Murman?
1 The note is related to questions raised by new demands and some complications in relations with the German government and the occupation of Murmansk by Entente troops. On July 18, 1918, V. I. Lenin heard a report from G. V. Chicherin on the first question.

TELEGRAM TO G. N. KAMINSKY

[July 22, 1918]
Tula
To the Comrade Chairman of the Tula Provincial Executive Committee
Kaminsky
Copy to Panyushkin
Panyushkin must immediately explain his actions to me and attempts
to release Agapov.
Let Panyushkin go to Moscow.
Agapov must remain under arrest. The Provincial Executive Committee must urgently submit to me a copy of the report on his case.
Both Kaminsky and Panyushkin must immediately inform me of the execution.
If Panyushkin is found guilty of disorganization, he will be severely punished.
Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars Lenin
1 V. I. Lenin's telegram was caused by a message from G. N. Kaminsky about the illegal actions of the commissioner of the detachment of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee and the extraordinary military commissioner of the Tula province V. L. Panyushkin, which consisted in the fact that, using the forces of his detachment, he tried to release the head of the garrison S. K. Agapov, arrested by the commissioner of justice and the provincial military commissar for embezzlement of state funds (see D. M. Oskin. Notes to Military Commissars., 1931, pp. 82-90).
