TELEGRAM TO J. V. STALIN [1]

In code

Stalin:

I do not quite understand why you are dissatisfied with
the separation of the fronts. Let me know your reasons.
It seemed to me to be necessary since the Wrangel danger
is increasing. As to a deputy, let me know your opinion about a candidate. Please inform me also what promises
the Commander-in-Chief is late with. Our diplomacy is subordinated to the C.C. and will never disrupt our
successes, if the Wrangel danger does not cause vacillations within the Central Committee. From the Kuban
area and the Don Region we are getting alarming, even desperate, telegrams about the menacing growth of the
insurgent movement. They are insisting on more speed in
defeating Wrangel.

Lenin
