TELEPHONE MESSAGE TO THE COMMISSARIAT FOR INTERNAL AFFAIRS

January 1, 1919

Greetings and New Year salutations to the Communist group. With all my heart I wish that in the new year we
shall all commit fewer stupidities than in the old and that
the building up of Soviet power, to which the comrades of the Commissariat for Internal Affairs in particular are
devoting their labours, will be carried to a successful
conclusion.

Lenin
