To Kamenev in code In my opinion, the whole point is that France and Das- zynski are torpedoing the actual meeting in Minsk. They will probably also prevent the armistice. I am hoping that Britain will be unable to fight, and without her everything falls to the ground. There is practically no news from Po- land. The little there is confirms our decision at the C.C. plenum, namely, extreme vigilance, and we are bound to win this campaign. That we have roused the workers— this is already no small gain. Lenin. With communist greetings,
P.S. Britain is trying to prove that we are torpedoing the meeting. All the documents must be sent urgently to Kamenev.

The Commander - in - Chief dare not fret. If the military department or the Commander - in - Chief does not reject the idea of capturing Warsaw, we must capture it (what extra measures for this? tell me). To talk of expediting the armistice when the enemy is attacking, is idiocy. Once the Poles have gone over to an offensive along the entire line, one should not whimper (like Danishevsky) for that is ridiculous. A counter-move should be devised: military measures (en- veloping, dragging out all negotiations, etc.).

Danishevsky It is ridiculous to complain of the enemy’s perfidy while there is still no armistice. Keep cool and absolutely firm, not yielding one iota, until the Poles show they seriously want peace.

SmiIga Minsk Comrade Trotsky will inform you in detail of the decision of the Politbureau, 435
from which you will learn that we fully share your view. It is essential to strain all efforts so that the Byelorussian workers and peasants, even if in bast shoes and unclothed, but immediately, with revolutionary speed, would give you three and four times as many rein- forcements. Further, agitation from aeroplanes for the Polish workers and peasants, to the effect that their capitalists are prevent- ing peace and are condemning them to needless blood- shed, should be increased tenfold.

(Sklyansky knows the address and code) Let us know in greater detail what you are doing to raise the Galician peasants. Armaments have been sent to you. Are they sufficient? Crush the Polish landowners and the kulaks ruthlessly so that the farm hands, and the mass of the peas- ants, feel there has been a sharp turn in their favour. Are you using aeroplanes for agitation? 436

for Radek, Dzerzhinsky and all members of the Polish C.C. If in Seidlitz Gubernia land-hungry peasants have begun to seize the landed estates, it is absolutely essential to publish a special decision of the Polish Revolutionary Com- mittee making it obligatory to give part of the landed estates to the peasants and at all costs to ensure concord between the land-hungry peasants and the farm hands. Please reply.

KAMENEV AND A NOTE TO G. V. CHICHERIN Kamenev in code It is hardly likely that we shall capture Warsaw soon. * The enemy there has built up strength and is attacking. Obviously, Lloyd George is deliberately dividing up the roles with Churchill, using pacifist phrases to conceal the real policy of the French and Churchill and duping the Hen- derson - and - Co. fools. Do your utmost to bring this home to the British workers; write articles and theses for them yourself, teach Marxism concretely, teach them to make use of the leftward swings of the Hendersons, teach them agi- tation among the masses—that is your main task. Lloyd George has been duping us with pacifism and has helped Churchill to land assistance for the Poles in Danzig. That is the essence of the matter. Maintain contact with the Ru- manian Ambassador.

20. VIII. 1920 Comrade Zinoviev For the Committee of the 1st State Cartographical Institute (formerly A. Ilyin’s) 5, Pryazhka Thank you very much for sending another copy of the atlas Railways of Russia, and please do not forget that if a new atlas is to be published giving the new administra- tive divisions, it is essential very carefully to collect infor- mation from the People’s Commissariats about the boun- daries both of the new gubernias and also of the Tatar, Bashkir and other republics, regions and communes (Ger- man, Chuvash), and others. It is unlikely that this can be done without a commission under the Council of People’s Commissars. With communist greetings,

Krestinsky for the Orgbureau I agree with Krestinsky that Preobrazhensky “didn’t make a success of it”. It should be more detailed, more agitational, with more feeling—and clearer and more business-like. Let Zinoviev write it (he will be here tomorrow, 25/8), and the Orgbureau will correct it. 441

ORJONIKIDZE Comrade Sergo, I am sending you reports delivered to me. Return them, please, with your remarks about the facts: what is true, what is untrue. 442
I daresay you get into a bad temper, on occasion, don’t you?

You ought to get some assistants, perhaps, and direct the work more systematically. I hope you will not take offence at my remarks and will reply frankly what you think you can straighten out and correct, and how. Greetings, Yours,

I agree, with the obligatory addition to this conclusion (“reprimand”): do not dare to introduce departmental po- lemics, do not dare to browbeat the Supreme Economic
missariats. Lenin Written on August 2 7 , 1 9 2 0 First published in 1 9 6 5 Printed from the original in Collected Works, Fifth Ed., Vol. 5 1 425 TO THE NARROW C.P.C. AUGUST 31, 1920 678 TO F. E. DZERZHINSKY Comrade Dzerzhinsky, I enclose a coded message from Comrade Beloborodov. 444
In my opinion the danger is immense. I propose: the adoption of a directive from the Political Bureau asking the Orgbureau, by arrangement with the Com- missariat for Military Affairs and the Vecheka, to draw up emergency measures to combat the danger of a re- volt and to mobilise sufficient army, Cheka and Party forces.
Please hand all this at once to Comrade Krestinsky (he will be away for only a few hours today) and for your part adopt all measures at once. If we are faced with a revolt on the Kuban, our whole policy (which was spoken about in the C.C.) will crash. It is necessary, at all costs, to prevent a revolt, and not to grudge people or efforts for this. Should we not send Mantsev there?

SEPTEMBER 6, 1920 682 INSTRUCTION ON NADEZHDA NIKULINA’S LETTER Dear Vladimir Ilyich, Only my desperate situation compels me to trouble you with a most humble request. I am 74 years old, for 51 of them I have served my dear Moscow to the best of my strength and ability. . . . Knowing how crowded are the conditions in which the population is living, I met the authorities halfway and voluntarily gave up several rooms in my little house. All that remains are rooms that I need for myself or cold communicating rooms unsuitable for living in. Now they threaten to take these rooms away as well. I implore you to help me. . . . A few words, written by your order, will be sufficient guarantee for me. With sincere respect, Honoured Artist of the State Maly Theatre,
Check and phone that she is to be left in peace. Written in September, not earlier than 3 , 1 9 2 0 First published in 1 9 4 5 Printed from the original in Lenin Miscellany XXXV
