TO THE REVOLUTIONARY MILITARY COUNCIL OF THE REPUBLIC
February 27, 1920
All in code
Of course, there will be no objection to the disbandment of the army apparatuses*
of Sooborona. All signs indicate that
Poland will present us with absolutely impossible, even brazen
conditions. All attention must be directed to the preparation, strengthening
of the Western Front. I would consider it necessary to take emergency measures to
quickly deliver everything possible from Siberia and the Urals
to the Western Front. I'm afraid we rushed a bit with the labor ar-
mies if we don't use them entirely to speed up delivery
to the Western Front. We must give the slogan to prepare for war with Poland.
