Comrade Goldberg
Revolutionary Military Council of the Reserve Army

The Council of Workers’ and Peasants’ Defence sends comradely thanks on behalf of Soviet power to all the workers, Red Army men, technical and administrative personnel, who worked to restore the bridge over the Kama at Sarapul, finishing it one month ahead of the scheduled time, thereby giving fresh proof of what the proletariat can achieve by organisation, energy and labour discipline, given a class-conscious attitude, so essential at the present time,   towards the common tasks confronting the Russian Soviet Republic in its efforts to cope with the economic dislocation.

Lenin
Chairman, Council of Defence
