To Badaev
Comrade Badaev!
Don't be capricious – you are not a young lady. You were asked not if you consider "all your actions"
(!!) "unconditionally (!!) correct" (that's ridiculous), but whether you
carried out all orders from the center. And about that, you are silent!
Work, we **do not accept** your **resignation**.
Henceforth, carry out all orders from the center and do not speak indecent nonsense about "intrigues."
4/V [1919]
Greetings! Lenin
