Markings on the Report of K. F. Martinovich and a Note to Leon Trotsky, Felix Dzerzhinsky and the Central Committee of the RCP(b), September 12, 1919
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1975, Moscow, Volume 44, pages 282b-283a.
N.B. |||
... The Revolutionary Military Council failed to pay due attention to the reconnaissance report, and the Southern Front Commander declared it to be a trifle, saying that even if the Cossacks did break through, they would be caught in a trap.
...As a result of all this, about 290 trucks of Clothing and Equipment Depot property were left behind in Kozlov and plundered by the Cossacks and population.
In view of this I consider it necessary to insist on a thoroughly detailed investigation of the process of evacuation of the institutions of the Southern Front Headquarters, and particularly the Clothing and Equipment Depot, to be carried out by a commission consisting of representatives of the Revolutionary Tribunal of the Republic, the Council of Defence, and the People’s Commissariat for State Control.
Comrade Trotsky
Comrade Dzerzhinsky
and the Central Committee
I think the investigation should be instituted through the Vecheka.[1]
