Confirming Comrade Vladimirov’s telegram, the Council of People’s Commissars instructs all local institutions in the Trans-Urals
to exercise extreme moderation and caution when it comes to the matter of
the new administrative division of the provinces, while also directing that the First Soviet Labor Army should be guided by this directive, without, in particular, establishing any special commissions dedicated to this issue.*
