Notes

[1] On May 26, 1919, Lenin sent another telegram to the Voronezh Gubernia Military Commissar (a copy was sent to the Gubernia Party Committee), stating: “Report immediately how many Communists have been sent to the Southern Front. Lenin, Chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars.” (V. I. Lenin, Voyennaya perepiska, Moscow, 1957, p. 133.)
