19. XII. 1919
Comrade Eliava,
I recommend to you the bearer, Comrade P. N. Lepeshinsky,[1] whom I know from abroad, from the Geneva of 1902, where we fought together against the Mensheviks. Comrade Lepeshinsky will undoubtedly assist in just the kind of work that should impress upon the indigenous population the idea and conviction that Soviet people cannot be imperialists, cannot even have imperialist ways of behaviour.
Greetings,
Yours,
Lenin
