The New York Times about the first archivist, who collected the letters of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels:
... the first director of the Marx-Engels Institute, David Riazanov, had little patience for the Communist Party officials who constantly demanded documents either to confirm ideological positions or to blacken enemies. One day, he took out a letter by Karl Marx, waved it in front of an astonished party boss's face and shouted: There is your Marx. Now go! Riazanov ran afoul of Stalin in 1931, was arrested in 1937 and executed the following year. ... The Guardian (London):
... The inventor of proletarian revolution was not a man without his flaws. Impetuous, domineering and intellectually arrogant, he was one of the finest virtuosos of vituperation since Jonathan Swift. Enemies were dismissed as cretins and buffoons, charlatans and skunks. Lord John Russell was a malignant and distorted dwarf, while another opponent, more sinisterly, was a Jewish nigger. ... A champion of labour who never submitted to the indignity of a full-time job, Marx felt no compunction in sponging for his livelihood off the capitalist class, in the person of his long-suffering collaborator Friedrich Engels. It was the dashing, philandering Engels, who rode with the Cheshire hunt and lived with two Irish working women in a ménage à trois, who kept his colleague financially afloat, sometimes by stealing from the cash box of his father's Manchester firm. The loyal Engels sacrificed much of his own success to Marx's well-being and would sometimes pen whole newspaper articles in Marx's name, diligently researching topics which the master couldn't be bothered to look into. When Engels wrote Marx an anguished letter to tell him of the death of his Irish lover, the great humanist responded with a self-pitying litany of his own ailments. ...
