  Preface to LETTERS TO RELATIVES (1930 Edition)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
The letters in this collection are addressed mainly to Lenin’s mother, Maria Alexandrovna Ulyanova, and to me[1] and cover the period from 1894 to 1917,[2] i.e., they begin from the first years of Lenin’s revolutionary activities and continue up to his return to Russia after the February Revolution.
In a letter to his mother from St. Petersburg he wrote that he was satisfied with his new room, which was “not far from the centre (only some 15 minutes’ walk from the library)”.
The next letter has not survived either, but from what I remember of it it showed what a heavy loss it was to him, how much pain it caused him, and how tender he was to all of us, who were also distressed by our loss.

 e-Keltoi: Volume 6, Mythologizing Identity and History: A Look at the Celtic Past of Galicia, by Kerry Ann McKevitt
This is an early example of the Galician historiographical tendency, in particular that of some twentieth-century intellectuals belonging to the group known as the Xeración Nós, to distinguish itself from Castilian Spain and to assimilate with the Celts, especially the Irish.
The Galician intellectuals identified with the Irish who, like themselves, were a peripheral European culture struggling for their own cultural and national identity.
For the Galician intelligentsia, its introduction into Galician letters provided a long-needed foundational myth in which their ancestors played a fundamental role in the founding of Ireland.

As you perhaps know, we recently, in a letter that was read on Spanish territory, referred to the struggle of the Basque people for their sovereignty.
Recently, a letter of ours, read in the Madrid Aguascalientes, unleashed a polemic and a condemnation of us, because the missive was ambiguous regarding the activities of the ETA Basque organization.
We sought to provoke the Spanish temperament of a man, and to thus set in motion a noble and honest initiative, which, insofar as the part which concerns us, represents perhaps the last opportunity for achieving a peaceful, dignified resolution of our demands, which are, as everyone knows, the recognition of indigenous rights and culture.
