Great attention was paid these days to perpetuating the memory of the leader of the revolution. Cultural and educational institutions in the settlements of the province were named after Lenin. Citizens actively discussed the establishment of monuments. Death of V.I. Lenin was perceived as a great and irreparable loss for the state. These factors contributed to the development of a new form of agitation work, which was formed around the image of VI. Lenin as one of the ideologists of socialist construction.
