Chairman of the Sovnarkom
of the Petrograd Labour Commune
In accordance with your statement by telephone we expect the immediate and formal withdrawal of the Red Guard detachments, which, though few in number, entered Finland against the wishes of the Soviet authorities. We insist that a formal decision to this effect should be passed by the Sovnarkom of the Petrograd Commune. We urgently request to be informed immediately of the full text of this decision.
Lenin
Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars
