Notes:
[1]
A reference to the resolutions of the Party conference on public
education held in Moscow from December 31, 1920 to January 4,
1921. Because the matter of reorganising the People’s
Commissariat for Education had been dealt with in general terms, Lenin
ordered the implementation of its resolutions to be suspended.
On January 26, the matter was discussed by a Plenary Meeting
of the R.C.P.(B.) Central Committee which set up a special
commission headed by Lenin. For the reorganisation of the People’s
Commissariat for Education see this volume, Documents 19 and
68; present, edition, Vol. 32, pp. 120–22, 123–32; Vol. 35,
