Love for Three. Elena Rai

K. Krupskaya
It is known that Vladimir Ilyich Lenin had one but ardent passion – revolution. In addition, he was a loyal and reliable spouse-the relationship between Lenin and Krupskaya stood the test of time.
Nadezhda Konstantinovsky was 25 years old when exiled Ulyanov offered her to become his wife. Krupskaya was then called “Selydkoy” – for bulging fish eyes. But the leader of the Bolsheviks preferred a more affectionate treatment-“Minaga”. Nadya’s sexual temperament was akin to a fish. Although she had a youth, too, there were love hobbies. The exiles said: “Nadezhda was glued to comrades.” Nadezhda Konstantinovna did not try to refute anything, on the contrary, wrote to the sister of Lenin Maria Ilyinichna: “I feel sorry that I am not a man, I would have been ten times more.” Nadezhda Konstantinovna was never a beauty, but she loved to be a woman, she said. And maybe that’s why she loved that she wasn’t a beauty.
Inessa Armand was no match for fresh Krupskaya. Loving, temperamental, beautiful, adored noisy companies, a wonderful hostess who had time and five children to give birth, and twice married to visit. And still have a lot of lovers… In the period of his first meeting with Lenin in 1909, Armand was unusually good. Besides, the future leader of the world proletariat was enthusiastic. It is no wonder that Mr. Ulyanov, according to the French socialist Charles Rappoport, “did not descend his Mongolian eyes with this little Frenchwoman.”
Until 1913, their relationship was purely platonic in nature. And then they were swept by a love-fever. Krupskaya saw all this, but until a certain moment tried not to stoop to confessions of jealousy.
However, in personal diaries Krupskaya valued her friend Ilyich quite differently. She called her a “painted bitch” (almost like in the movie “Love and Pigeons”). And then she switched to obscene language.
For the revolution, Comrade Inessa abandoned her five children. Alexandra Collontai wrote: “Lenin fell in love with Armand long before the revolution. Their romance was so passionate that Krupskaya offered him to leave, so that he would be happy with another woman.”
But how beautiful and charming was Inessa, when the choice arose between her and “Mingoy”, Lenin preferred the violent passions of the preacher of free love a steady union, and Armand’s proposal about the life of the threesome rejected without discussion. Soon Inessa gave birth to a boy named Andrei. Many believed that Andrey-the son of Lenin. But according to the professor of neurology Strumpel, Ilyich, like Krupskaya, was infertile. Hope, due to thyroid disease, Lenin-because of the neglected syphilis, complicated by gonorrhea.
Nadezhda Konstantinovna fought for a long time for her love. And found support in the face of the all-powerful Central Committee. And Lenin could not openly go against the decision of the same created party.
After the revolution, Inessa went to Moscow to see the children, and Lenin settled in St. Petersburg. But in 1918 the government moved to Moscow, and for Nadezhda Krupskaya again difficult times came. Armand lived next to the chief’s apartment on Neglinke. And the leader of the Bolsheviks, in the breaks between the meetings of the Sovnarkoma, took her in the Kremlin. In her diaries Krupskaya wrote: “V.I. unusually delicate with me and, when sends me from the Kremlin, always comes up with a worthy reason. But she won’t be very well with me.”
Krupskaya has done everything to “love affair” of Lenin and Armand brought to the meeting of the Central Committee of the Party. After discussing the possibility of marriage between Lenin and Armand, the Central committee ruled: in no case!
In August 1920, Lenin, worrying about the shattered health of Inesse, sent her to a sanatorium in the Caucasus. And on October 11 she was brought from there in a galvanized coffin. Comrade Armand died of cholera, burned in a matter of days. The death of Inessa Armand broke Lenin. And already in 1921, his health deteriorated greatly. In February 1924, after Lenin’s death, Krupskaya offered to bury the remains of Lenin together with the ashes of Inesse Armand. The CC of the party rejected this proposal, not allowing Armand and Lenin to unite even after a death.
Stalin said Krupskaya: “Lenin belonged to the Party and it’s up to Party to decide how to bury it”
As Stalin and the party decided, I think everyone knows.
