MISCELLANEOUS NOTES

In "Reports and Studies on Cottage Industry in Russia," Vol. II, 1897 edition (archive number 646/к), Lenin, examining the consolidated data on cottage industries in Vladimir Governorate, summarizes the number of artisans in the governorate and notes in the margins (p. 245):

In all districts 45,986, including weaving 17,601
?
(out of 2,149).

The last figure in parentheses refers to the Shuya district and means the total number of artisans engaged in carpentry, metalwork, carriage-making, and other trades, including weaving; information on weaver-artisans is not provided separately in this source; therefore, Lenin poses the question.

Based on statistical information published in the "Collection of the Saratov Zemstvo" (archive number 444/к), Lenin signs the calculated total at the bottom (p. 34):

Number of people engaged in trades
Agricultural
Artisan &
Cottage

Total for 97 districts in 15 governorates
526,567 466,089 141,978 522,882

In the statistical collection for Nizhny Novgorod district: "Materials for Land Valuation of Nizhny Novgorod Governorate," issue VIII (archive number 405/к), Lenin underlines data on peasant households in the Bezvodninskaya volost (584 households) and notes on p. IV of the tables:

Of these, engaged in trades 479 = 82.4%
391 households do not sow.

On another page of the table, Lenin notes that Slobodskaya volost ranks first in literacy and Bezvodninskaya second (59.5 and 57.-°/q of households have literate and studying individuals)..

On the cover of the "Collection of Statistical Information for Moscow Governorate," Vol. VII, issue III (archive number 636/к), Lenin writes:

While reading the protocols of the Kostroma valuation commission (archive number 674/к), Lenin is interested in the forms and methods of factory and plant valuation adopted in the practice of the Kostroma Governorate Zemstvo Board. Lenin underlines those places in the protocols where it is indicated that the Board established the profitability of Kostroma enterprises at 6% of the value, that the Board considers it necessary to discuss the issue of excluding small cottage-type establishments from the number of enterprises being valued, etc.

On one book – A Course of Russian History by V. Klyuchevsky (archive number 434/к), there is a note: "To Ulyanov – by Saturday." This book was delivered to Lenin in prison.

Lenin received Kharizomenov's statistical collection "Trades of Vladimir Governorate" in exile. This is evident from the inscription on the cover of this book: "Minusinsk – Vl. Il. Ulyanov."

On the cover of the book "A Brief Overview of the Activities of the Syzran-Vyazma Railway on Transportation for 1894" (archive number 400/к), there is an inscription: "To Ulyanov Vladimir." The book was delivered to Lenin in Shushenskoye.

Lenin makes a number of notes while studying the materials in this source. On p. 116 he notes data on the growth of refined sugar transportation from 1890 to 1894; on pp. 122-123 data on the transportation of salt during these years and on the impact of railway tariffs on changes in the direction of transportation, the role of individual junction points are noted; on p. 134 Lenin underlines those places in the text that explain the reason for the reduction in the transportation of oilseeds from Vyazma (the construction of a new large oil extraction plant there), etc.
