If you are still disinclined to understand Soviet policy, which is equally hostile both to the British and to the Germans, you will have only yourself to blame. Natsarenus is on his way.
We shall fight the British if they continue their policy of plunder.[1]
Lenin
- â This telegram was the last warning to A. M. Yuriev (Alexeyev), Chairman of the Murmansk Territory Soviet, where the Mensheviks and Socialist-Revolutionaries had a majority. On March 2, 1918 Yuriev had violated the instructions of the Soviet Government by entering into negotiations with representatives of the Entente and concluding a so-called âverbal agreementâ with them, which virtually placed the Territoryâs military forces and economy in the hands of the âAlliesâ and enabled the imperialists of Britain, France and the United States to land troops in Murmansk.
Natsarenus, S. P. (1883â1938)âMilitary Commissar Extraordinary for the Murmansk-White Sea Territory in 1918; later Military Commissar for the Petrograd Military District. He was also at various times member of the Revolutionary Military Councils of the 7th, 14th and 15th armies.
