Abstract

Lenin's Widow Speaks
March 5, 1924 issue

add to cart   close window

The following is the brief and simple and strangely impersonal speech delivered by Vladimir Ilich Lenin's widow, N.K. Krupskaya, at the opening session of the Second Congress of Soviets of the U.S.S.R., on the day preceding her husband's funeral. She said "My words will bear little resemblance to a parliamentary speech. But I believe that in addressing the representatives of the republics of the toilers and my near and dear comrades, who have taken it upon themselves to reconstruct life upon a new basis, I need not bind myself by form and convention."
