Nadezhda Krupskaya

Nadezhda K. Krupskaya (February 26, 1869 - February 27, 1939) was a Russian Marxist revolutionary. She married Bolshevik founder Vladimir Lenin in 1898. She was a functionary of the Bolshevik faction of the RSDLP from the early days. After the Russian Revolution, she was appointed deputy to Anatoli Lunacharsky, the People's Commissar for Education.

Although she was highly regarded within the party, Krupskaya was unable to prevent Joseph Stalin's consolidation of power after Lenin's death. She was then politically isolated by Stalin and his supporters.
