Revolutionary Military Council of the Eastern Front

To Gusev, Lashevich

Pay the most rigorous attention to the uprising in the Irgiz district* 395. Do not allow it to drag on—mobilize all surrounding areas completely, discuss whether it is possible to use aircraft to strike down the insurgents. Liquidation is necessary immediately and in full. Why is Gusev not departing—this cannot be delayed.
