Nadezhda Krupskaya, Lenin’s wife, was more than just his soulmate in political ideology.
She did a lot of work to improve how libraries after the Russian Revolution were more accessible to the common man, more well organized and better stocked (they were in a poor state), and she thought that librarians should be better educated so they could better assist their patrons. However, I can’t confirm whether her ashes are interred in an urn situated at Lenin’s Mausoleum like I thought. This is a vague memory of something a Russian professor may have mentioned during the course of my undergraduate degree.
Anybody know?
