Things have long been past days. Krasin L.B.

The memoirs of Leonid Borisovich Krasin make it possible for our youth to get acquainted with one of the most striking figures of the old Bolshevik guard. But according to the old Bolshevik, Krasin could not give a review of all his work in his memoirs, all the more to give assessments of his revolutionary activity. That is why in this preface we had to give significant excerpts from the memoirs and articles of the closest friends and associates of Krasin written after his death.

These memories introduce the reader with the bright representative of that young generation of the end of the last century, which closely tied its fate with the fate of the working class and with it a heroic revolutionary struggle.
