Dear Comrades,
I have just heard Comrade Serebrovsky’s brief report on the situation in the Azerbaijan oilfields. The difficulties of the situation are by no means small. I send you my cor-dial greetings and urge you to do all you can to hold on for the immediate future. Things are always particularly difficult at first. Later on it will be easier. We must win, and we shall do so at all costs.
Once more, my most cordial communist greetings.
V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
