Copy to Rakovsky

The Political Bureau of the Central Committee requests that the Central Committee’s directive be communicated to all responsible workers: to hold out to the last, defending Odessa and Kiev, the communications between them and their communications with us to the last drop of blood. This is a question of the fate of the whole revolution. Remember that our help is not far off.

For the Political Bureau of the Central Committee,

Lenin
