Letter to Red Army Men Who Took Part In The Capture Of Kazan
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, Moscow, Volume 28, 1974, page 99
Leninâs letter was read to the garrison troops of the town of Sviyazhsk.
Comrades,
You already know what tremendous significance Kazan's capture has acquired for the whole Russian revolution. It marked a turning-point in the soldiersâ mood, their changeover to firm, resolute and victorious actions. The immense sacrifices you bore in battle are saving the Soviet Republic. The Republicâs strength in the fight against the imperialists depends on the armyâs fortification. So does the victory of socialism in Russia and all over the world. With all my heart I greet the heroic Soviet troops, the army of the vanguard of the exploited fighting for the overthrow of the exploiters. Very best wishes for the future.
Comradely and communist greetings,
V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
