Comrade Molotov

I fully support the proposal made by Comrade Trotsky relating to the trip to the border area by the persons he named.[1] I believe that a number of circumstances really demand the adoption of the most vigorous measures in this sphere, which are inconceivable without a trip of this kind.

Please record my vote “for”.

Lenin

Notes
