In the Oxford libraries you C Level Contact List could find much of the pre-revolutionary material, but then the Soviets were publishing a fairly comprehensive collection of his post-revolution writings. As I delved into the subject, I became quite distant from Lunacharsky as an intellectual, and therefore from my initial biographical project. He was a popularizer, basically very eclectic, who collected many ideas and intertwined them very quickly in a C Level Contact List kind of narrative that was not usually very deep. However, his activity as People's Commissar for Education (a sort of Enlightenment commissar),ussr to investigate. And I ended up writing my dissertation on that. There was another aspect that interested me in Lunacharsky and it was the one that C Level Contact List was linked to his role as self-proclaimed mediator between the intelligentsia and the Communist Party.
I think this had something to do with C Level Contact List my father, who had, in fact, developed an informal political role in Australia as a back room mediator, someone who was not a member of any political party but had contacts with C Level Contact List communists as well as with figures from the Labor Party and even with some Liberals. Today I'm not sure if he C Level Contact List admired my father's role as mediator or criticized it, but I was interested as a self-definition and modus operandi .
In 1966 I went to the USSR for a year of C Level Contact List research as a British exchange student, hoping to be allowed to work on Lunacharsky's personal papers, which were in the Communist Party archives. The Soviets did not like to give C Level Contact List access to Soviet-era archives to foreigners and they refused me the consultation. However, after a few months of struggle, I was allowed into the State Archives, considered less politically C Level Contact List sensitive, to work on the archives of the Lunacharsky ministry (Narkompros) from the 1920s. Those Narkompros materials were absolutely fascinating.
