In view of the reorganisation of the health resort system in the Republic and in the interests of providing treatment and rest at health resorts for disabled servicemen and workers, exhausted Red Army men and weakened workers from the north, urgent measures must be taken to protect the southern health resorts won back by the Red Army.
Please give immediate orders to chiefs of army units operating in the south of Russia and on the Taurida Peninsula to take the strictest steps to prevent destruction or looting of medical appliances, buildings, inventory, plantations, materials and supplies at the health resorts of southern Russia and the Crimean Peninsula, Odessa, Golaya Pristan, Berdyansk, Moinaki, Saki, Evpatoria, Sevastopol, Balaklava, Yalta, Alupka, Gurzuf, Alushta, Feodosia, Kerch, and others.
