I have been watching with joy the heroism of the 10th
Army and the Tsaritsyn proletariat in the defence of
Tsaritsyn. I am sure that Red Tsaritsyn, which has withstood
winter sieges lasting many months, will withstand all trials
now as well. Greetings to the defenders of Red Tsaritsyn!
The promised reinforcements are on the way.

Lenin
Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars
