Military-Revolutionary committee:

Kerensky’s gang has begun artillery fire. Our artillery responded and made the opponent to stop. Cossacks began the offensive. Deadly fire from sailors, Red Army troops and soldiers forced the Cossacks to retreat. Our armored cars crashed into enemy lines. The enemy is running. Our troops are pursuing them. An order was issued for Kerensky’s arrest.

In the interests of defending the revolution and its achievements against counter-revolutionary incursions, commissars have been appointed by us to military units and strategic locales in the capital and its environs. Orders and directives sent to these locales must be executed only with the approval of authorized commissars. Commissars, as representatives of the Soviet, are inviolable. All citizens are invited to give them the support of every possible kind.
