Nadezhda Krupskaya (1869–1939) was a pivotal Bolshevik revolutionary, feminist, the primary architect of the Soviet educational system, and, of course, spouse of Vladimir Ulyanov (Lenin). Later in life, she suffered from Graves’ disease and looked like this: https://pin.it/4RE6if70p

Probably because her husband was one of the reasons that put millions of people under an oppressive regime that killed a lot of people. idk, just spit balling here…

Funny fact; Lenin was “kitchen cheating” on her. That is she was so bad at cooking that at any given opportunity he ate anywhere but home

From Russia with love, and a side of proletarian uprising.

Instead of asking for a hand job he probably just asked her to “seize the means of reproduction “

Ah yes, the most important aspect to ascertain the importance of a historical female figure:
> Why was this index a mistake? First, because it missed the mark. It excluded from the people’s libraries the writings of Plato, Kant, Ernst Mach, and idealists generally. These philosopher-idealists are harmful without doubt. But to have their works in the libraries intended for the peasants and workingmen is not harmful – it is immaterial: the masses do not read Kant. The list could not make any actual change in this respect. Much worse was the fact that the list of excluded ‘religious’ books was very limited.
There are few historical subjects I love more than the literary opinions of radical regimes.

Is it me or is there a “slight” resemblance of Scarlett Johansson? The real black window?

A pretty face is great but she clearly didnt make him happy or he wouldnt have pushed a idealogy of envy and hatred on people.
A perfect 10 is great to look at but you should marry a 7 with a good heart

If you call Krupskaya a “baddie”,, then what about Margaret Thatcher, for example? Whom is she any better? Or how are the wives of Mussolini, Peron, Pinochet, Pol Pot, “Papa” Duke Duvalier, and so on better? Why don’t you mention them?
Some American politician (or even president) once said something like this about Pinochet: “Yes, he’s a son of a bitch, of course. But he’s our son of a bitch.” Many people born and living in the USSR could easily say the same about Krupskaya, especially (or could say) her contemporaries, and several generations after her. So what next?

Reading Motherland by Julia Lotte
If only she was actually willing to cooperate with moderates instead of being such a damn zealot, she got to spend her final years watching most of her beloved reforms be revoked by her fellow hard-core Communists

Fun fact: she apparently witheld Lenin’s Testament (in which he warned that Stalin, Trotsky, Bukharin, Zinoviev, Kamenev and Pyatakov would destroy the Bolshevik Party and called for Stalin’s removal from office) from being released because she was worried the stress of the fallout would worsen Lenin’s health.

Trotsky sure didn’t ignore it…
>An artist is commissioned to create a painting celebrating Soviet–Polish friendship, to be called “Lenin in Poland.” When the painting is unveiled at the Kremlin, there is a gasp from the invited guests; the painting depicts Nadezhda Krupskaya (Lenin’s wife) naked in bed with Leon Trotsky. One guest asks, “But this is a travesty! Where is Lenin?” To which the painter replies, “In Poland”.

She looks like the villainous nanny from a children’s move set in the 1890s.

Hope she rests in hell where she and all the other Bolsheviks belong.

I’d let her seize my means of production if you know what I mean.

She actually wasn’t considered good looking in her time, and was even made fun of for her appearance.
Very different beauty standars back then…
Today, she slaps some eyeliner and lipgloss, and you couldn’t tell this woman didn’t live to see the beginning of WW2.

Was she hot?
My favorite thing about her is her work with the infamous [Index of Counter-Revolutionary Books](https://www.marxists.org/archive/krupskaya/works/index-expurgatorius.htm).
