TELEGRAM TO A MEMBER OF THE REVOLUTIONARY MILITARY COUNCIL OF THE SOUTHERN FRONT
May 20, 1919

I hope you have come to an understanding with the Council of Defence representative.
In my opinion, he should stay in order to help, at all costs, to expedite the suppression of the revolt. I am surprised at your silence regarding the division that came to your assistance. All your requests will be complied with. Keep me informed more frequently.*
Lenin

* In view of the danger of Denikin’s forces joining up with the Whiteguard insurgents on the Don, Lenin insistently demanded that every means be used to put down the revolt and that a firm hold be secured in the Donets Basin at all costs. Following the course of the suppression of the revolt with unflagging attention, Lenin demanded constant reports, and kept track of the arrival of reinforcements in the area of the revolt, particularly units of the 33rd Division from Astrakhan.
