The convention makes an
urgent appeal to all parts of the population.
1. To the comrade-soldiers in the rear: Comrades! Come to fill up
our thinning ranks in the trenches and rise shoulder to shoulder
with us for the country's defense!
2. Comrade-workers! Work energetically and unite your efforts, and
in this way help us in our last fight for universal peace for
nations! By strengthening the front you will strengthen freedom!
3. Fellow-citizens of the capitalist class! Follow the historic
example of Minin! Even as he, open your treasuries and quickly
bring your money to the aid of Russia!
4. To the peasants: Fathers and Brothers! Bring your last mite to
help the weakening front! Give us bread, and oats and hay to our
horses. Remember that the future Russia will be yours!
5. Comrades-Intellectuals! Come to us and bring the light of
knowledge into our dark trenches! Share with us the difficult work
of advancing Russia's freedom and prepare us for the citizenship
of new Russia!
6. To the Russian women: Support your husbands and sons in the
performing of their civil duty to the country! Replace them where
this is not beyond your strength! Let your scorn drive away all
those who are slackers in these difficult times!
No one can read this declaration without a deep sense of the lofty and
sincere citizenship of the brave men who adopted it as their expression.
