LETTER TO L. B. KAMENEV
To Kamenev
[End of September, 1918]

Dear L. B., Get well soon.

As for the “glorious theory of tacking”.

All theories are good if they correspond to objective reality.

But our reality has changed, for if Germany is beaten, tacking becomes impossible, because there are no longer two belligerents between whom we were tacking!!

Attention!

England will gobble us up if we don’t have a ....... Red Army.

In my opinion, we should not start negotiations for a revision of Brest, for that would now be running ahead.

We must wait.

Get well!

Greetings!

Yours, Lenin.
