Carefully packed and quickly sent. 201605690ucb Nadezhda Konstantinovna Nadya Krupskaya (26 February [O.S. 14 February] 1869  27 February 1939) was a Russian Bolshevik revolutionary and politician (she served as the Soviet Union's Deputy Minister of Education from 1929 until her death in 1939) and the wife of Vladimir Lenin from 1898 until his death in 1924. As a devoted lifelong student Krupskaya began to participate in several discussion circles. These groups got together to study and discuss particular topics for the benefit of everyone involved. It was later in one of these circles that Krupskaya was first introduced to the theories of Marx. It was at a similar discussion circle that Krupskaya first met Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov a dedicated Marxist who later came to be called Lenin. Krupskaya was impressed by his speeches but not his personality at least at first. It is hard to know very much of the courtship between Lenin and Krupskaya as neither party spoke often of personal matters. In October 1896 several months after Lenin was arrested Krupskaya was also arrested. After some time Lenin was sentenced to exile in Siberia. It suggested that she could be permitted to join him in Siberia if she told people she was his fiance. At that time Krupskaya was still awaiting sentencing in Siberia. Krupskaya was permitted to accompany Lenin but only if they were married as soon as she arrived. In her memoirs Krupskaya notes with him even such a job as translation was a labour of love. Her relationship with Lenin was more professional than marital but she remained loyal never once considering divorce. Please choose Priority / Expedited shipping for faster delivery.
