    • March 18 1920, Vladimir Ulyanov-Lenin, Lenin’s telegram to Stalin on the need to seize Crimea as soon as possible in connection with the possibility of the outbreak of civil war in Germany:
      Кто победи́т, неизве́стно, но для нас необходи́мо максима́льно уско́рить овладе́ние Кры́мом, что́бы име́ть вполне́ свобо́дные ру́ки, и́бо гражда́нская война́ в Герма́нии мо́жет заста́вить нас дви́нуться на За́пад на по́мощь коммуни́стам.
      Kto pobedít, neizvéstno, no dlja nas neobxodímo maksimálʹno uskóritʹ ovladénije Krýmom, štóby imétʹ vpolné svobódnyje rúki, íbo graždánskaja vojná v Germánii móžet zastávitʹ nas dvínutʹsja na Západ na pómoščʹ kommunístam.
      It is unknown who will win, but it is necessary for us to speed up the capture of the Crimea as much as possible in order to have completely free hands, because the civil war in Germany may force us to move West to help the Communists.
