where can i see the writing where lenin originally referred to western journalists as "useful idiots"?

Question

i would like to get more insight into what lenin thought about those who were born outside russia and had never lived there, yet still were mentally ill enough to fall for his lies. i want to see the whole paragraph that this quote of "useful idiots" originates from, english translation would be nice too!
