Stalin,
Revolutionary Military Council of the South-Western Front, Kharkov
Priority. By direct line
February 16, 1920
Today I heard you and all the others very clearly, every word. Threaten to shoot the incompetent person in charge of communications who cannot give you, a good amplifier and ensure uninterrupted telephone communication with me. I approve the reduced requisitioning and the obligatory distribution among the poor of a part of the requisitioned grain. You must first of all interest the poor.
