RESOLUTION ON A TELEGRAM FROM TAGANROG
April 29, 1920

Moscow, to Lenin, Chairman of the Council of Labour and Defence
To Kalinin, Chairman of the All-Russia Central Executive Committee*

The district party conference of the C.P.B. of the Taganrog area. We are indignant at the muddle that is being created around the question of the boundaries of the Donets Gubernia and the Don Region. Lugansk telegraphs Taganrog, referring to a decision of the Council of People’s Commissars, ordering it to submit to it; Rostov, in its turn, telegraphs Taganrog that the boundaries of the Don Region remain as before. Part of the Taganrog area has already been occupied by the Donets Gubernia without the knowledge or consent of the Taganrog Area Revolutionary Committee, and representatives of Lugansk are threatening representatives of Taganrog with arrest and armed force. The party conference earnestly requests that these outrages, which are completely disorganising the work of the Taganrog Area Military Commissariat and the volost revolutionary committees in the localities, be stopped.

Presidium of the Conference

* At the top of the telegram there is a note by the Secretariat of the Council of Labour and Defence, made on Lenin’s instructions: “Copies to Stalin, Vladimirsky. Vladimirsky is ill. Get in touch with the People’s Commissariat for Home Affairs (Vasilyev?) and see that the People’s Commissariat for Home Affairs takes measures.” Lenin
