Personal from Lenin to Krasin
Russian Embassy, Berlin
I fully appreciate Joffe’s work and certainly approve it, but I emphatically demand that Joffe should behave as an ambassador whose superior is the People’s Commissar for Foreign Affairs, and should observe the decencies, not abusing and not slighting other people, and consulting the People’s Commissar for Foreign Affairs on all important matters. Only then can I and will I support Ambassador Joffe. I rely on your tact to impress this upon Ambassador Joffe, and await a reply.
