Urgent

Comrade Dzerzhinsky

Bandits have seized the Boldyrev (Rasskazovo) factories (Tambov Gubernia).

It is an absolute scandal.

I propose that the Chekists (and the Gubernia Executive Committee people) of Tambov Gubernia who were caught off their guard

  1. be court-martialled,

  2. that Kornev be severely reprimanded,

  3. that extremely energetic people be sent there at once,

  4. that a severe trimming and instructions be given by telegraph.

Lenin
