Comrade Sklyansky and Comrade Smilga,
I know perfectly a certain comrade, who is a man of absolutely exceptional loyalty, bravery and energy ( especially as regards explosions and daring raids).[1]
I direct:
(1) that he be given an opportunity to learn command practice (all speed-up measures to be taken, particularly for the reading of lectures and the like),
what can be done?
(2) that he be charged with organising a special demolition, etc., squad to operate behind the enemy’s lines.
