In opening his appeal to the nations Ataman Simionov describes the slavery of the Russian people under the rule of the Soviet, and he mentions that the Red Army is composed of men who have been compelled to enlist, but at the same time with a skeleton of Communists and volunteers who are mostly well paid. These people are not Russians but almost without exception foreigners, including Magyars, Chinese and Letts.
Analysing the methods of the Red leaders Ataman Simionov states that everything they have done has been with the object of spreading Bolshevism all over the world, establishing the universal dictatorship of the proletariat.
