Comrade Molotov:

Trotsky and other members of the Politbureau must be urgently asked. I am inclined to agree provided strict conditions are worked out and the moment put off.

Lenin


Notes

[1] Written on a report from I. S. Unschlicht, Deputy Chairman of the All-Russia Cheka, who proposed that in order to demoralise the whiteguard troops interned in Poland and Czechoslovakia, on which S. V. Petlyura and B. V. Savinkov pinned their military hopes, an amnesty should be extended to all interned soldiers, provided that they abided by certain conditions and limitations. This proposal was adopted by the Politbureau of the R.C.P.(B.) Central Committee.
