P.S. Find tougher people.
Comrades! The insurrection of five kulak districts should be ruthlessly suppressed. The interests of the whole revolution require this because 'the last decisive battle'[a] with the kulaks is now underway everywhere. An example must be made.
>Hang (absolutely hang, in full view of the people) no fewer than one hundred known kulaks, fatcats, bloodsuckers.
>Publish their names.
>Seize all grain from them.
>Designate hostages - in accordance with yesterday's telegram.
Do it in such a fashion, that for hundreds of verst around the people see, tremble, know, shout: "the bloodsucking kulaks are being strangled and will be strangled".
Telegraph the receipt and implementation. Yours, Lenin.
