TELEGRAM TO L. D. TROTSKY

12. XII. 1918

Trotsky
Voronezh or present whereabouts

Astrakhan wires re necessity of stepping up work by the
flotilla [1] in view of the uprising of the Bolsheviks in
Georgia and the highly dangerous menace of a British advance.
Would you not find it useful if Raskolnikov, who for some reason is hanging around in Moscow, were sent to
Astrakhan?

Lenin
