About Nadezhda Krupskaya

  • Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya (Russian: ????´??? ?????????´????? ???´?????, IPA: [n?'d?e?d? k?nst?n't?in?vn? 'krupsk?j?]; 26 February [O.S.
  • 14 February] 1869 – 27 February 1939) was a Russian Bolshevik and the wife of Vladimir Lenin. Krupskaya was born into a noble family that had descended into poverty, and she developed strong views about improving the lot of the poor.
  • At one Marxist discussion group, she met Lenin who was soon exiled to Siberia, where she was allowed to join him, on condition that they married.
  • This could suggest a marriage of convenience, though they remained loyal. Following the 1917 Revolution, Krupskaya was at the forefront of the political scene.
  • From 1922–1925, she was aligned with Stalin, Zinoviev and Kamenev against Trotsky's Left Opposition, though she later fell out with Stalin.
  • She was deputy education commissar from 1929 to 1939, with strong influence over the Soviet educational system, including the development of Soviet librarianship.
