TELEGRAM TO I. T. SMILGA AND G. K. ORJONIKIDZE

In code
3. III. 1920

Smilga and Orjonikidze
R.M.C., Caucasian Front

It is extremely important for you to work harmoniously with Ksandrov, who has been sent to the Donets Basin
with special powers. Regarding coal, telegraph how matters
stand. Is the rumour about Peters having been killed by
the Denikinites in Rostov true? What in general is the military situation?
