own universities. But the one in Tashkent was the first, the young people of today can hardly imagine that there was a time when practically all their age mates could neither read nor write. Lenin viewed the task of stamping out backwardness in the remote areas of

former czarist Russia as a prime undertaking of the young state. Even such schools on the eve of the 1917 October revolution were a rarity. Equal rights for women. Seemed out of the question. The great gift of Lenin's foresight and the tremendous energy of the Communist Party
