Your telegram received. There is no point in your being indignant. If X’s report is false,[2] calmly write ten lines of refutation and send it to me by mail. Please add fullest details about the progress of the fight against banditry and about the arrangements you made in Kislovodsk for the Soviet functionaries of whom I spoke here to you personally.[1]
Lenin
Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars
