Instruction to the Red Guard Staff, November 12, 1917
Leninâs instruction was written on an order to the Red Guard Staff issued by the Military Revolutionary Committee of the Petrograd Soviet. The order gave instructions for petrol, four artillery batteries, three motorcars, field telephones and cyclists or motorcyclists to be dispatched to the Pulkovo headquarters at positions near Tsarskoye Selo.
The order called for the dispatch of petrol, a motorcar, two artillery batteries, sappers for trench-digging, motorcycle or bicycle messengers and maps of the locality, to the Staff of the Izmailovo Regiment on the main road to Moscow. The Military Revolutionary Committee proposed also that âa joint staff for the operation as a wholeâ should be set up and food supplies organised for the Red Guard.
Please take all steps for immediate execution.
V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
