KHARKOV, TO SHUMSKY
Copy to the new CC of the CP(b)U
Copy to Rakovsky
In cipher

In confirmation of the telephone message which Lenin transmitted to Rakovsky last night, we inform you that the Political Bureau of the CC of the RCP, in view of the inadmissible situation created by the fact that 105 delegates, with 8 abstentions, refused to take part in the elections to the CC and protested against these elections as illegal, has decided to set up a provisional body pending the settlement of this conflict. This provisional CC must include Shumsky, a former Borotbist, now a Party member, who took no part in the factional struggle at the Ukrainian Conference, and also two members of the new CC and two members of the old CC.

On behalf of the Political Bureau,
Lenin
