TELEGRAM TO V. M. GITTIS

23. XI. 1918

Army Commander Gittis
Vologda

I am entirely in sympathy with your plan to release prisoners of war, but only a few at a time and exclusively those
who have really been won over by our propaganda. Telegraph
me at once, if necessary in code, how many prisoners you
have, of what nationality, and how many of them have been
propagandised.

Lenin
Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars
