TELEGRAMS TO THE REVOLUTIONARY MILITARY COUNCIL OF THE EASTERN FRONT
Simbirsk
June 11, 1919

Pay particular attention to the uprising in the Orenburg
and Ural regions. Do not neglect it, mobilize all the surrounding
areas completely, discuss whether it is possible to strike the rebels
with airplanes. Liquidation is necessary immediately and complete. Why
isn't Gusev leaving, we cannot delay.
Lenin

I am again drawing your attention to the fact that the regiments going to St.
Petersburg must be absolutely reliable—both the soldiers and the command
personnel. Observe this yourselves. You must take upon yourself all responsibility for the fact that these regiments will not betray.*
Lenin
