Comrades! The insurrection of the five kulak districts must be mercilessly suppressed. The interests of the whole revolution demand it, for 'the last decisive battle' with the kulaks is now underway everywhere. An example must be made. 1. Hang (absolutely hang, so that the people can see) no fewer than 100 known kulaks, fatcats, and bloodsuckers. 2. Publish their names. 3. Seize all their grain. 4. Designate hostages - in accordance with yesterday's telegram.
