Letter to Anatoly Lunacharsky and Assignment to V. A. Smolyaninov, May 17, 1922
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1976, Moscow, Volume 45, page 552a.
Over the text Lenin wrote: “See to the reply.”—Ed. —Lenin
17.V.1922
People’s Commissar for Education[edit source]
I have received some information showing that the high price of books, considering our “enthusiasms” and the exaggerations of NEP, is depriving the people of useful books.
I should think it is necessary to lay down some kind of rule or pass a law on roughly these lines: specified amounts should be apportioned from local taxes to be paid to a centre for a fund to cover the cost of several thousand books (say, Skvortsov, Electrification, etc.) for distribution to all uyezd libraries.
Please discuss this and let me know your opinion.[1]
V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
Chairman, CPC
To Comrade Smolyaninov for Comrades Lunacharsky, Pokrovsky, Rykov and Tsyurupa.[2]
