Lenin

155

To:   L. B. KRASIN

Comrade Krasin:

Give this your particular attention. I wonder whether
Klyshko is talkative? A diplomatist should know how to hold his tongue, and speak in such a way as to say nothing.
Does Klyshko know how? Does he understand this? [1]

9/ V. Lenin

Notes:
[1]
Together with this note, Lenin sent L. B. Krasin G. V.
Chicherin’s letter of May 8, 1921, informing Lenin that he had suggested
that N. K. Klyshko should not respond to any statements by
the British Government and the press until Krasin’s return to
London.
