V. I. LENIN TO V. I. MEZHLAUK AND K. YE. VOROSHILOV

Kharkov

To Mezhlauk, Voroshilov

Copy to Melnichansky, Artyom, Kaminsky

The Political Bureau of the Central Committee met on June 1 and, fully agreeing with Trotsky, decisively rejects the Ukrainians’ plan to amalgamate the 2nd, 8th and 13th Armies and to create a special Donets unity. 387

We demand that Voroshilov and Mezhlauk carry out their immediate task—to create a strong Ukrainian army. Tomorrow or the day after, Trotsky will summon you to Izyum and give more detailed instructions. Inform us more precisely, more frequently, and strictly factually of what you have done, and particularly of how much military property Voroshilov took from Grigoriev and in other places.

On behalf of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee,
Lenin
