PROPOSAL TO THE POLITBURO OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE RCP(b) REGARDING THE TRIAL OF UNGERN
I recommend that this matter be given greater attention, that the solidity of the charges be thoroughly verified, and that, should the evidence prove utterly conclusive—though there seems to be little room for doubt in this regard—a public trial be held, conducted with the utmost speed, and that Ungern be executed by firing squad.
Dictated over the telephone on August 26, 1921.
