Letter to Vasiliy Mantsev, February 3, 1921
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1976, Moscow, Volume 45, page 82b.
Comrade Mantsev:
Outrageous things are happening in the Ukraine.
The Politbureau directive (to have Peshekhonov and the Peshekhonovites removed from Kharkov) is being foiled.
Some of the Ukrainian CC members are allowing themselves to be deceived by Peshekhonov and the Peshekhonovites.
That is clear. We too shall not allow ourselves to be fooled any longer.
I authorise you, on your personal responsibility (on condition of secret and direct and regular communication with the Politbureau in Moscow) to:
(1) keep Peshekhonov under full observation;
(2) send the results here;
(3) similarly with all the other Peshekhonovites, a list of them;
(4) secure Peshekhonovâs immediate resignation and his dispatch to Moscow.
The Ukrainian CC is in complete disarray. Letâs see if you can do this properly.
With communist greetings,
Lenin
3/II.1921.
