At the top of the document Lenin wrote: “Please send the bill for this telegram to me personally.”—Ed.
Chairman of the Soviet
Simbirsk
Inform me by telegram of the circumstances and conditions of election of heads of Chuvash teachers’ seminaries for men and women. I am interested in the fate of Inspector Ivan Yakovlevich Yakovlev, who has worked for fifty years for the advance of the Chuvash people and suffered persecution from tsarism. I think Yakovlev should not be torn away from his life’s work.[1]
Lenin
Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars
- ↑ I. Y. Yakovlev established the first Chuvash school in the city of Simbirsk (now Ulyanovsk), the birthplace of Lenin. He compiled the first Chuvash alphabet and primer, and did a great deal towards educating the Chuvash people.
In reply to his inquiry Lenin received a telegram on May 4, 1918, saying that Yakovlev continued as chairman of the courses and seminary for women.
