TELEGRAM TO A. D. METELEV [1]

9/VIII.

Metelev
Gubernia Executive Committee
Vologda
Copy to Sammer and Eliava

There is no need to come to Moscow to report. You must remain in Vologda and strain all efforts for immediate,
relentless reprisals against the whiteguards, who are clearly
planning treachery in Vologda, and for preparations for
defence.

Refute the lie about Archangel by letter.

Lenin
Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars
