Telegram to Miron Vladimirov, February 26, 1919
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1975, Moscow, Volume 44, page 198b.
1[edit source]
Vladimirov
The Council of Defence has decided that if the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic fails, within two days, to present a reasoned decision in favour of the Povorino-Tsaritsyn line, we shall give priority to the Liski-Likhaya line. The Commissariat for Railways plainly states that there cannot be enough materials for restoring the bridges of both lines. I fully agree with this decision of the Council of Defence, but if you can perform a miracle by contriving to repair the Povorino-Tsaritsyn line in addition to the Liski-Likhaya line, you will indeed be a miracle worker.
Lenin

I personally agree to leave you if you undertake to restore both lines, as you write. I shall try today to get in touch with Tsyurupa and Sverdlov, and if we arrive at a different decision I shall telegraph you immediately. Probably Nevsky did not know what materials you can get from the south. I shall pass on to him both your memos.
Lenin
