Lenin’s greeting to the working people of Daghestan was written in reply to a letter from Comrade Karkmasov, Chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars of the Daghestan Soviet Socialist Republic, in which he reported that a start had been made in tapping mineral resources. Two poods of mercury extracted In Daghestan were sent to Lenin as a production gift.

I gratefully accept your gift, which is the result of the creative initiative of the working people of Daghestan.

I wish you success in the difficult work of reviving the economy of Daghestan.

Lenin,

Chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars of the RSFSR
