Description
N.K. Krupskaya is known for being Lenin’s wife, especially for her role in Lenin’s last days. The problem with this belief is that it does not admit her life as a meritorious revolutionary and communist functionary in her own right, even though she gained a wealth of experience simply from knowing Lenin so well. It was her enthusiasm, as a schoolteacher and as one always paying attention to the issues facing the youth, their moulding as new builders of a new society, that led her to decades-long labour improving education. She focussed on new methods of work, studying and school functions in alignment with the proletarian outlook, Marxism-Leninism, never forgetting that the Soviet system was only as strong as the new generations who would continue it. In this work, she drew upon what Lenin himself did, his attitude towards organizing youth, polytechnical and mental education, self-education of cadres, etc. and how he worked and studied at home and in libraries, a most valuable asset. Though we live in bourgeois society, this book is of great use in building the new education while the old still prevails, extending Lenin’s thesis of dual power to the moulding of the youth. Communists can and must apply, where correct, the methods and emphasis laid out in this book in steeling the parties and youth organizations for years to come, in researching and working out the new coherence towards various problems which present themselves.
