We volunteers of the 12th Saratov grain provision regiment worked in the production of grain in the villages of Balashkov district. We were called to an uprising by a Green band in the village of Arkadak. On arrival at Arkadak, at the same time, thirty ProdArmy soldiers successfully attacked the village of Olshankovo [ . . . ] They mowed down all the bandits to their roots [ . . . ] At that time our commander Levin rode along our line and told all the comrades that when we took the village of Malinovka, we should mow it down to the roots once and for all since it had already been causing trouble for three years and our commander said we had to exchange boots and coats for anyone who had bad ones after the shooting was over. We attacked the village of Malinovka, then we took it, and the Green bandits ran off through Khoper. Going through Malinovka all the heads of households ran away with the Green band leaving only refugees from the province this time we had to shoot a lot of people and take fifty prisoners after all the retribution the plenipotentiary Cheremukhin ordered us to set fire to the village at this time and gave the ProdArmy soldiers permission to take any clothes and that's what they arrested us for and consider us marauders in the village of Malinovka children with typhus burned up as well as a lot of grain and cattle when we got to the village of Arkadak our company commander and commissar Cheremukhin took back their words and said citizens why did you take things give them back my things were given back right away we ProdArmy soldiers have been working on requisitioning since December 10, 1918 and there haven't been any comments about us since we sympathize with the Bolsheviks. We eight ProdArmy soldiers proclaim our willingness to go to the front to help our comrades. We are all peasants from Bedilka and all as one will go with our calloused hands and may our calloused hand be destroyed by the parasite who stands in the way of Soviet power and this is why we beg you, Comrade Kalinin, to give some response. And we sign here July 18, 1919.
