14. VI. 1919. In cipher
Tsaritsyn
Revolutionary Military Council of the 10th Army, Somov, Yefremov
Copy to Raskolnikov

It is essential to hold Tsaritsyn; it has withstood a siege more than once. Strain every nerve,
send more detailed and more frequent reports; we are taking measures. Speed up the evacuation of everything superfluous and valuable.

Mobilise the entire population. Do not relax political work. See to it that you keep in touch with us.

Lenin
