The first and second pages of Lenin's hanging order
"Lenin's hanging order" is a telegram from Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin demanding the suppression and execution of captured participants in the kulak revolt in the Penza Governorate. It was first called the "Hanging Order" by the U.S. Library of Congress;[1] the "order" was not carried out as such, and the revolt was ended relatively peacefully.[2]
The telegram was addressed to Vasily Kurayev (Penza Soviet chairman), Yevgenia Bosch (the chairwoman of Penza Governorate Party Committee) and Aleksandr Minkin (the chairman of Penza Governorate ispolkom) and other Penza communists, dated 11 August 1918.
