Notes

[1] At this time Krupskaya was on board the government propaganda vessel Krasnaya Zvezda as representative of the People’s Commissariat of Education. Propagandists and representatives of a number of People’s Commissariats were on board the vessel which sailed from Nizhny Novgorod to Perm, stopping at towns and villages, factories and factory settlements. Krupskaya kept a detailed diary of the voyage.

The telegram from V. M. Pozner which Lenin mentions ran as follows: “The Provisional Executive Committee of the Union of Workers in Education and Socialist Culture has to inform you that the Second All-Russia Communist Conference opens on July 25, two days prior to the opening of the congress appointed for July 27 by a decision of the second session. The Executive Committee requests you to speak on ’The New Personnel in Education and Work Among the People’. Please inform us of your consent.”
