Letter to Felix Dzerzhinsky, August, not earlier than 28, 1920

Comrade Dzerzhinsky,
I enclose a coded message from Comrade Beloborodov.[1]
In my opinion the danger is immense.
I propose:
the adoption of a directive from the Political Bureau
asking the Orgbureau, by arrangement with the Commissariat for Military Affairs and the Vecheka, to draw up emergency measures to combat the danger of a revolt and to mobilise sufficient army, Cheka and Party forces.
Please hand all this at once to Comrade Krestinsky (he will be away for only a few hours today) and for your part adopt all measures at once.
If we are faced with a revolt on the Kuban, our whole policy (which was spoken about in the CC) will crash. It is necessary, at all costs, to prevent a revolt, and not to grudge people or efforts for this. Should we not send Mantsev there?
Yours,
Lenin
