Note by E.M.Sklyansky

There is1* from Krasnoshchekov. He offers to promise the Kapplevites2* a pass to their homeland on condition that they lay down their arms. Trotsky proposes to agree, to ask Krasnoshchekov on what conditions he proposes to do this, and to entrust the Special Department to supervise.

Note by Lenin

Who are they? Nation? How many? ThroughEuropean Russia?? Where to?

A note from E.M. Sklyansky.

Kappel is a general, an associate of Kolchak. Apparently Russian. To his homeland. The idea is to separate them from Semenov. I can't tell you how many now.

A note from Lenin

Since so (and if unarmed), I agree to request -Dalvostrespublika+ I.N.Smirnov.

Note by E.M.Sklyansky.

The opinion of the Dalvostpr3* we have. - It's Krasnoshchekov. Do you consider it necessary to request Smirnov?

Lenin's note

Yes.

Fund 2, op. 1, d. 23004 - autographs.

1*In the document, probably E.M.Sklyansky responds to an unsaved note by V.I.Lenin.

2*Lenin's underlining.

3*Dalvostpra - the government of the Far Eastern Republic.

1Kappelites - soldiers and officers from the units defeated by the Red Army, commanded (until his death) by Lieutenant-General V.O.Kappel. Together with the units of Lieutenant-General G.M.Semenov they held the defense west of Khabarovsk in the area of Volochaevka station. The advancing units of the Red Army and People's Revolutionary Army of the Far Eastern Republic occupied the station on February 12, 1922, and on February 14 entered Khabarovsk. The Belopovstanskaya army retreated to Primorye under the protection of Japanese interventionists. Soon there was a split between the Kapplevtsy and Semyonovtsy. Apparently, it was at this time that the question of letting the Kappelevtsy back home was raised. Taking into account these data and dated the document.
