In 1921, Vladimir Lenin wrote a letter to a comrade, asking him to ensure that Cecilia Bobrovskaya (1873-1960) be provided with housing. 'I have known Bobrovskaya since the epoch before 1905, ' Lenin wrote, 'and know that she is capable of living in great hardship and be reticent about it excessively.'
