Comrade Molotov

I fully support the proposal made by Comrade Trotsky relating to the trip to the border area by the persons he named.[1] I believe that a number of circumstances really demand the adoption of the most vigorous measures in this sphere, which are inconceivable without a trip of this kind.

Please record my vote “for”.

Lenin

  1. On August 23, 1921, the Politbureau of the RCP(b) Central Committee adopted a decision on trips by members of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic to the western border to study the stale of its security and defence.
