Presidium of the Conference of the Poor,
Yakutsk
Comrade Lenin has asked me to convey his greetings to your conference. Comrade Lenin expresses the hope that the toiling masses [the poor] of Yakutia liberated from the tsarist oppression, and who are being emancipated from enslavement by the toyons,[4] will awaken, and with the help of the Russian workers and peasants will take the way of [communism] full consolidation of the power of the working people themselves.
