Notes

[1] May 4.—Ed.

[2] Written on Nadezhda Krupskaya’s letter saying that she, in   her capacity as member of the Collegium of the People’s Commissariat for Education, had objected to the decision taken by the Budget Conference under the Politbureau on a sizable cut in the People’s Commissariat for Education budget, and emphasised the need to provide for the people’s school system.

On June 22, 1922, the C.P.C. approved the People’s Commissariat for Education estimates in substance.
