TELEGRAM TO K. G. RAKOVSKY, V. A. ANTONOV-OVSEYENKO, N. I. PODVOISKY, L. B. KAMENEV

Rakovsky, Antonov, Podvoisky, Kamenev

At all costs, using all your strength and, as rapidly as
possible, help us to finish off the Cossacks and take Rostov,
even at the price of a temporary weakening in the west of
the Ukraine, since otherwise we are threatened with destruction.

Lenin
