To be telephoned to the Smolny, Petrograd[1] :
In view of the cutting of the Siberian Railway by the Czechoslovaks and the tremendous threat to transport, in view of interrupted communications the very greatest peril menaces the food supply.
Comrade Vladimirov insists, and I support him, that Petrograd should urgently send its best food supply personnel to Moscow. These personnel, together with strong detachments of selected workers, may save the situation.
Donât delay. Donât wait for help from outside. Strain every effort for extraordinary measures by the Petrograd workers.
Lenin
