[1]
Written under the text of G. V. Chicherin’s letter to J. V. Stalin
of November 19, 1921, in which Chicherin said that the
Soviet state should not confine itself to giving political support to the national liberation movement in the East, but should
help the young national states to develop their economy and
train their personnel. Pointing to the positive results of this
policy in respect of Afghanistan, Mongolia and Persia, Chicherin
suggested the same policy in respect of Turkey.
