Copy to Divisional Commander Dumenko
Velikoknyazheskaya

Convey my greetings to the hero of the 10th Army, Comrade Dumenko, and his valiant cavalry, who have covered themselves with glory in liberating Velikoknyazheskaya from the fetters of the counter-revolution. I am confident that the crushing of the Krasnov and Denikin counter-revolutionaries will be carried through to the end.
