Abstract
On the basis of an appeal of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union [CPSU], which evoked a wide response in thousands of labor collectives throughout the country, the concluding year of the Tenth Five-Year Plan [1980] has become a year of shock work. This movement has special meaning because it has coincided with the national celebration of the 110th anniversary of the birth of our great leader Lenin. Socialist competition and the shock work of millions of Soviet people have been combined with an in-depth study of Lenin's ideological and theoretical legacy, of his distinguished role in the economic, sociopolitical, and cultural reforms that have been carried out in our country, and an understanding of the way in which the Communist Party has implemented Lenin's policy on nationalities. Further tasks regarding the implementation of Lenin's behests under present-day conditions have been articulated on this basis. Lenin played a major part in developing a scientific theory of education and communist social upbringing. In his works we can find an exhaustive discussion of the essence of upbringing and of the moral, labor, physical, and esthetic education of the younger generation and of forming a comprehensively developed individual. Lenin considered education a permanent social category, a complex and prolonged process. "Education is a long and difficult business," he wrote (Complete Collected Works, Vol. 40, p. 267). The leader of the Revolution saw the mighty potential of mass education in independent political struggle, especially in the revolutionary struggle of the laboring masses themselves.
