Gubernia Committee of the R.C.P. of Bolsheviks
For the Ukrainians
Orel
I have just received from Unecha greetings from the revolutionary soldiers of Germany. I consider it extremely important that you should inform all posts on the Ukrainian border of this by telegraph and, replying on my behalf with gratitude for the greetings of the revolutionary soldiers of Germany, you should appeal to them to help by rapid and resolute action in the liberation of the Ukraine. Let the revolutionary soldiers of Germany complete the glorious German revolution they have begun by arresting the whiteguards in the Ukraine and liberating it.
Long live the revolutionary soldiers of Germany in the Ukraine!
Long live the fraternal alliance between the German Soviet Republic and the Ukrainian Soviet Republic!
Lenin
Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars
