Telegram to Christian Rakovsky, June 11, 1919
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1975, Moscow, Volume 44, pages 252b-253a.
Rakovsky
Council of People’s Commissars
Kiev
On June 3, I sent the following telegram to Schlichter: “Earnestly request you not to hold up consignments for the Byelorussian-Lithuanian army and generally for the Food Commissariat, Minsk, and to dispatch them to destination in Minsk. Accelerate this in every way. Further, it is necessary to increase relief for Petrograd. Please wire me fulfilment of both assignments twice weekly. Lenin, Chairman, CPC”
Please 1) investigate the reasons for non-receipt of this telegram and prosecute the guilty parties; 2) discuss most urgently emergency measures to aid Petrograd with food and to collect what was promised; appoint a comrade in each volost responsible for fulfilment of this. I await a reply.
Lenin
