To:   G. V. CHICHERIN

19. VIII. 1918

Comrade Chicherin, The bearer, Comrade Latukka, is a Finnish
Social-Democrat, who was a great help to us when we were in hiding
in
Finland. [1] He should now be given every possible assistance. He would like to go to Switzerland.

Please have a talk with him and help him in realising his wish and find a place for him at the Embassy. He is a
journalist.

Yours, Lenin

Lenin lived at the house of Latukka in Vyborg from September
