We have to take a division because of the bad and almost catastrophic situation
near Petrograd and in the South. There is nothing to be done. Let us hope that, in view of the capture of Ufa,
the Fifth Army will be able to give up a division without surrendering to the Whites, and that, by redoubling Party
energy, we, together with you, will cope with the task of not allowing a defeat on the Eastern Front.

Lenin
