Lenin also made records.

Leader V. I. Lenin set an example by recording 16 of his speeches on records. One day, he reminded Malkin that he definitely needed to record the All-Russian headman, and immediately called Kalinin himself, asking him to prepare several speeches for the peasants. Malkin recalled that Vladimir Ilyich, jokingly, even threatened Dzerzhinsky with arrest for unwillingness to sign up. However, his recording has not been found so far, and it is unknown whether it has been carried out. But it is known that the "faithful associate of Ilyich" I. V. Stalin was not awarded such a task.



The work carried out by researchers from the Central State Archive of Sound Recordings of the USSR and Ufa philophonist E. Paskudsky allowed us to establish that in 1919-1921 about 70 records with performances by Bolshevik speakers were released. The editorial board, which included Lenin, Kollontai, Trotsky, Bukharin and representatives of the Central Press, was responsible for planning the propaganda repertoire. All recordings were made in studios in Moscow and Petrograd by German specialists Oskar Blesche and August Kibart. The "Soviet Plate" department of the Central Printing of the RSFSR worked very quickly (even by the standards of our time): Some records were released two months after the recording! And they dispersed in unprecedented numbers. In just three months of 1920, about eighty thousand records were sent out. Over the next two years, over half a million more. Black discs with the label "Soviet record. Centropechat" was distributed free of charge at campaign posts, peasant gatherings, workers' clubs, and Red Army units. Organized mass auditions of "sound articles" were held in specially built pavilions, from open carts and cars on which gramophones were installed. The circular letter of the Central Committee of the party "On propaganda points" stated at that time: "It is necessary to ensure that every peasant from a remote village can hear at least on a record the authentic speeches of the great leaders of the proletarian revolution." This authenticity is the main value for us. Whatever record you take, it's a piece of our history. Those who directly implemented the program of the revolutionary transformation of Russia in accordance with the situation and the directives of the leadership of the ruling party speak about the policy of the party and the Soviet state. That was the period when the path was being laid, full of hopes and delusions, ascents and descents, more like the fall that we had been following for seven decades.
