Krupskaya taught workers before joining the Russian socialist movement and subsequently helped organize its publications and correspondence. During exile she worked in party education, supported the women’s journal Rabotnitsa and participated in international antiwar organizing. After 1917 she worked in Soviet public education, advocating mass participation in schooling and cultural work. From 1920 she headed Glavpolitprosvet, responsible for political education. In 1925–1926 she supported the Zinoviev–Kamenev opposition before withdrawing from it.
