V. I. Lenin

Samara, Gubernia Military Commissar for Samara Ukrainians

Consider it necessary to inform you in reply to telegram sent by
Samara Ukrainians that in view of influx of Ukrainian volunteers
and abundance of conscripts in Ukraine itself still without
arms, Workers’ and Peasants’ Government of Ukraine considers it unnecessary to call up Ukrainians in Russia and
dispatch them to Ukraine. In name of Council of People’s
Commissars propose you stop sending Ukrainian units to Ukraine.

Lenin, Stalin
