A focused work of historical and library science scholarship, Lenin, Krupskaia and Libraries presents a carefully curated collection of primary and secondary texts examining the profound influence that Vladimir Lenin and his wife Nadezhda Krupskaia had on the development of Soviet library policy and practice. Krupskaia, a dedicated educator and revolutionary, is rightly positioned here as a central architect of the Soviet library system, and the volume details her tireless efforts to use libraries as instruments of mass education and communist ideology. The assembled materials chronicle the ideological framework that shaped Soviet librarianship in the early twentieth century, illustrating how political vision was translated into concrete cultural and educational infrastructure. Scholarly in tone yet accessible in its organization, this collection serves as an invaluable resource for historians, librarians, and anyone seeking to understand the intersection of revolutionary politics and information science in the USSR.
