"Evgeny still hasn't understood a lot in life, because it's just beginning for him. We wish him a happy normal human life" (L. P. Shevchuk, Kharkiv). "Evgeny's psychology is deeply flawed and ill-conceived. Apparently, Evgeny had never met any opponents in his life... I would like to exchange thoughts with Evgeny and, perhaps, convince him" (A. P. Makarov, Ulyanovsk)...No matter how many children Zhenya has in the future, I believe that he will devote all his free time to them, which means his whole life. And for him, his child will be the most..." (I. V. Bazova, Tolyatti).
I think that those who advocate having many children have the right to expect the same benevolence or at least tolerance towards themselves that they themselves show to representatives of the opposite point of view. This would be all the more true because, in a certain sense, we all live at the expense of large families: it is their very existence that gives our society minimal time to think about its demographic future, and it is thanks to them that our population has not yet begun to decrease nationwide.
February twenty—sixth marks one hundred and twenty years since the birth of Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya, and the next day, on the twenty-seventh, half a century since her death. The seventieth anniversary that passed between the dates 1869-1939 is a long journey filled with trials and faith, joys and shocks of life, a sense of unity "with all the working and exploited" and bitter loneliness. The path is both happy and tragic...
Strangely, not much has been written about Krupskaya. Most of all (this is understandable) in combination — Lenin and Krupskaya. Indeed, these two lives were connected so closely and for a long time, undividedly devoted to the same great cause of the liberation of labor, that it is natural to talk about them without separation. Meanwhile, in addition to her diverse party work and pre—revolutionary activities, Krupskaya had her own personal, planned and never-abandoned line - education of the people, school, and the fate of children. After October, this line became the main one — until the last day, Krupskaya worked "on public education."
She wrote a lot in more than twenty post—revolutionary years, far from complete, obviously, the collection of pedagogical works includes eleven volumes. Much was written hastily, "for the current moment," in connection with the fleeting events of the then dynamic school life, and now has only historical significance. But even in these numerous notes, letters, and speeches, the main features of her pedagogical concept are constantly visible: school is for children, not children for school; education is not training, but a lively, joyful life together for adults and small children; and the fewer "educational words" there are, the more exciting both real things are. All the better for adults, for children, for the future of the country.
An authentic, comprehensive biography of Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya has yet to be written. We still know so little about the difficult, tragic years when she was left alone — the years when people who stood next to Lenin at the origins of the party died one after another, and she could not even publicly say a word in their defense. About how the school noticeably deviated from the path that was outlined at the time of the victory of the revolution. The story of all this is yet to come, when we discover the true story of the twenties and thirties. In the meantime, we bring to your attention several works that, I think, are significant today.
