Written in connection with an inquiry from V. D. Kaisarov, chairman of a special scientific commission for compiling an academic atlas, on the exact definition of the boundaries of the RSFSR and its relations with the republics formed within the boundaries of the former Russian empire.

Comrade N. P. Gorbunov:

Please reply to him as follows:

(1) we shall let him have the legal reply soon (the formulation has to be given after verification by agreement with Kursky, Chicherin, Goikhbarg, after very thorough verification, with, perhaps, the help of Vladimirsky as well);

(2) for the atlas, all these republics are to be included: the neighbouring, the friendly, etc., a general formula (for the atlas, for the statistics, and for the geography).

9/IX.

Lenin
