Описание: Boris Souvarine Papers - Soviet Russia Photos graduateinstitute.ch/home/research/library/archives/boris... Notes: The back of the document holds the mention (in Russian and French): "The delegates to the IInd Congress of the IIIrd International, at Pavlovsk. In the middle of the group, Comrade Lilina. On her left, Mutzenberg". Zlata (or Zinaida) Ionova Lilina (1881-1929) was Grigori Zinoviev's wife. Involved in children care and education, she was People's Commissar for Social Planning to the Northern Commun (organ of the Petrograd Soviet). Victor Serge (1890-1947) described her as "a small crop-haired, grey-eyed woman (...) sprightly and tough". She stands in the middle of the group, with German delegate Willi M"unzenberg (1889-1940) on her left. The man with a hat and a pipe may be Karl Radek (1885-1939). The man on the left, behind the woman in a white dress, may be Manabendra Nath Roy (1887-1954), delegate to Mexico, commissioned by Lenin to write the theses on national and colonial questions during the IInd Congress.
