Dear Alexei Maximych,
You seem to stay too long in Petrograd, really. It is not good to stay in one place. Itâs tiring and boring. Would you care to take a trip? We can arrange it.[1]
Yours,
Lenin
- â Lenin advised Gorky to âtake a tripâ on the propaganda steamer Red Star, which was making a cruise on the Volga and Kama. Krupskaya took part in this trip along with a group of top-level functionaries of the CC, RCP(b), the CEC, and various Peopleâs Commissariats. On July 10, Lenin wired Krupskaya: âI saw Gorky today and tried to persuade him to travel on your steamer, about which I had sent a telegram to Nizhni, but he flatly refused.â = (See present edition, Vol. 37, p. 545.)
