Vologda
To Comandarm Gittis

I fully sympathize with your plan to release prisoners, but only in small numbers and exclusively those who are indeed well propagandized. Telegraph me immediately, if necessary, in code,

TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SAMARA CHEKA. 25 NOVEMBER 1918

how many prisoners you have, of what nationality, and how many of them are propagandized.

Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars Lenin
