Comrade Trotsky,

Return this to me, please, after writing your opinion.

I think it is an absolute scandal that Vatsetis assigned the three regiments to Narva. Cancel it!!

Lenin

Notes

[1] Lenin’s instruction to Trotsky was written on the text of a report from Stalin and Dzerzhinsky giving the reasons for the fall of Perm. The report stated that the three regiments intended as reinforcements for the 3rd Army had been reassigned to Narva.
