TELEGRAM TO THE REVOLUTIONARY MILITARY COUNCIL OF THE EASTERN FRONT

Simbirsk
June 18, 1919

I have learned of the uprising in Kustanai and the movement of the insurgents on Chelyabinsk**. If these are the Magyars and their friends, then the most critical moment has arrived. All efforts must be strained to effect a junction. What are you undertaking? Are you sending an aeroplane to them? If there is no aviation mixture, it will probably be possible to obtain it by special pressure. Telegraph me in greater detail***.

** This refers to the uprising in the rear of Kolchak’s army.
*** On the original, written in V. I. Lenin’s hand, there is his note: “In the special ‘Soviet’ cipher, which is known to the members of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic, but which cipher is unknown to the military in general.”
