Letter to Martin Latsis, June 4, 1919

4. VI. 1919
Comrade Lads
Dear Comrade,
I have received your letter and enclosures. Kamenev saysâand declares that several most prominent Cheka men confirm itâthat the Chekas in the Ukraine have brought a host of evils, having been set up too early and having allowed a mass of hangers-on to get in.
A most stringent check should be made on personnelâin this, I hope, Dzerzhinsky will assist you from here. It is necessary at all costs to discipline the Cheka men and throw out the alien elements.
When there is an opportunity to send a letter by hand, inform me in greater detail about the screening of the Cheka personnel in the Ukraine, and the results of the work.
Greetings,
Yours,
Lenin
