TELEGRAM TO S. P. NATSARENUS

Natsarenus, Military Commissar Extraordinary
Petrozavodsk

I am passing your telegram on to the Commissariat for
Food. The food situation now is as bad as it can be. We shall
hardly be able to help. Everything that is best and most
reliable has to be organised for sending detachments to
the Czechoslovak front. Without victory over the
Czechoslovaks there will be no grain.

Lenin
Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars
