Wrangel is clearly pulling back his units. It is possible that he is already trying to take refuge in the Crimea. To let him escape would be the greatest crime. The success of the impending blow depends to a large extent on the First Cavalry Army. We propose that the Revolutionary Military Council of the First Cavalry Army adopt the most heroic measures to speed up the concentration of the First Cavalry Army.

October 24, 1920.
Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars, Lenin**
