to love skating, but found he got
tired and sleepy after it, and there
fore gave it up as it hindered his
studies. He was also very fond Of
Latin, but he also gave this up as it
hindered more important work. Krup-
skaya, in her "reminiscences, alludes to
the fact that several writer's have
compared Lenin's style and phrasing
with the phraseology of the Roman
orators. She thinks that this is not
by chance, but under influence Of his
former enthusiasm for the Roman
writer's.
Meanwhile, throughout these years
of exile, Lenin's interest and enthusi-
assn for the revolutionary movement
did not subside. On the contrary, as
the termination of his exile drew near,
his hopes for the future increased
with his impatience to be free. Al
ready before his return, he was plan
ming the work for the formation Of a
compact Party with a clear-cut ideol-
Ogy. He spent many sleepless nights
thinking out detailed plans for Par
ty paper published abroad, means of
illegal transportation into Russia, and
so on. He communicated these plans
to Martov and the comrades in Russia.
Return From Exile.
In March, 1900, Lenin's exile ended.
Day and night he travelled in a sleigh
across the Siberian snow-300 versts
up the River Yenessei, dreaming of
the future. Returning to Pskov, he
began organizing a network Of cons
nections for the future Social Demo-
cratic paper that was to be published
abroad, but he was soon to leave Rus
STA to join Axelrod and PlelIhanov.
Just as he was about to leave Pskov
for abroad, Lenin was arrested in the
street together with Martov. He had
1000 rouhles in his pocket. He ex-
planned to the police that he had got
the money from his ''aunt." Luckily,
the list of contacts for the newspaper
was written in chemical ink and COW
cred with faxed calculations. If the
gendarmes had thought of heating
this piece of paper, the entire scheme
for the newspaper might have been
wrecked. However, Lenin was re-
leased after being under arrest ten
days.
In August, 1900, Lenin came to
agreement with the PIekhanov group
for the publication of "IslSra." After
a short stay in Geneva, he settled in
Munich, where he was later joined by
who had just completed
her Siberian exile. Krupskaya relates
an interesting incident connected with
her journey abroad. She had been
given an address in Prague. On ar
irving there, she found Lenin was ac-
tually in Munich and the Prague adj
dress had only been a point for the
of correspondence. Occur
rences of this kind were frequent in
The history of the illegal work Of the
Party. Shliapnikov, for instance, once
went to Genoa instead of Geneva,
while another comrade was almost
sent to America instead of England.
In this case, Krupskaya was sent on
from Prague to Herr Rithmeyer at
an address in Munich. She arrived at
a beer-house and inquired for Herr
expecting to be presented
to Lenin. But again it appeared she
was on the wrong track. Il am Rith-
meyer" replied the owner of the beer
house. But he told her there was
Russian gentleman staying there who
was expecting his wife from Siberia.
Fortunately, the Russian gentleman
turned out to be Lenin. He had writ
ten to her to come to Munich, but she
had not received his letter.
Krupskaya found Lenin living very
simply. The owner Of the beer-house
10 whom the room belonged, was a
Social Democrat. His wife, buxom
German woman, used to feed Lenin
on mehlspeise Ga kind of pudding)
while he used to get his breakfasts
and suppers himself. He drank out
Of a tin mug which he himself washed
