End of August 1919  

I propose to supplement the Politburo decision (measures against Mamontov) as follows:  
1) appoint a commander for each sector (10–30 versts, etc.) during the encirclement, among them 1–2 communists;  
2) shoot immediately for failure to get out of the carriages;  
3) introduce a further series of Draconian measures for tightening discipline...  
+ 3) Speed up the dispatch of each echelon of the 21st Division immediately for action against Mamontov, with the addition (if necessary) of communists.  
((Turn them back before Moscow.))
