TELEGRAM TO M. V. FRUNZE

In code

Frunze
Revolutionary Military Council of the Turkestan Front

Give all your attention, not to Turkestan but to the complete liquidation of the Urals Cossacks, even if you
have to use diplomatic means. [1] Make every effort to speed up help for the Southern Front. Could not the
Orenburg Cossacks be taken to the front near Petrograd or some
other front? Report more frequently in code on actual fulfilment.
