I authorise you to announce to the mountaineers that I promise to have the Council of People’s Commissars grant them financial aid. Issue them up to 200 million on account of this.

Narimanov will leave for Petrovsk in a few days, as you propose. You may inform Mr. Uratadze on your own behalf that the government has no objection to his coming to Moscow; at the same time I fully agree with you that there is no need to hurry his departure from Rostov for Moscow, and I therefore leave it to you to fix the day of his departure as you think fit.194 On the question of land relations you may act independently, but you should inform me of the measures you take in this field.

Please keep me informed more often. Please expedite the transfer of units to the South-Western Front.

LENIN
