[1920]

Comrade Bryukhanov!
1) The description refers to the time of the landing operation 2. After its liquidation, the mood and state of affairs completely changed, as Lander, incidentally, told me yesterday.
2) The same Lander says: precisely now, after the successful suppression of a number of uprisings (connected with the landing operation), the grain collection (mainly in Kuban, where there is a lot of grain) has begun and will continue.
3) In Lander's opinion, *more* preliminary requisitioning can be taken there.
Draw Frumkin's attention to this in a confidential letter (not a telegram) to him. We must seize the moment, not miss the time (it will be worse later) and press hard on Kuban.
With comradely greetings, Lenin
