Lenin's Speech at the Bolshoy Theatre

In mid december 19 22, lennin suffered what was probably a series of small strokes that permanently ruined his ability to write. He could now only dictate to a small circle of cretaries headed by krupska and lenon's sister maria. Though confined to a bed, he was alert enough to want to keep grappling with the political affairs of the day. The speech at the bolshoy theatre would be among lenin's final appearances in public.
