Esperanto

Red star says he was an Esperantist. --84.20.17.84 14:02, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another claimed origin for the red star relates to an alleged encounter between Leon Trotsky and Nikolai Krylenko. Krylenko, an Esperantist, was wearing a green star lapel badge; Trotsky enquired as to its meaning and received an explanation that each arm of the star represented one of the five traditional continents. On hearing this, he specified that a similar red star should be worn by soldiers of the Red Army.^[1]

Pretty good article

This article seems pretty good to me, although I think that the earlier sections could use some more references, and the references themselves need reformatting - there are no page numbers given, for example. I would do it myself but I don't have any of the works mentioned. I know that the talk page is for comments on the article, not on the subject of the article, but regarding the subject I can't help commenting: what an asshole.

There are some interesting offhand descriptions along those lines in the literature - Bruce Lockhart described Krylenko as a "drooling degenerate", or something along those lines - but I need to dig through my library and find the sources before adding any of that. The sourcing could definitely be tighter. MastCell ^Talk 19:06, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Law degree

Following tradition, the article claims that Krylenko obtained a degree in law. But look at the chronology: 'arrested in 1913 and exiled to Kharkiv, where he received a law degree. In early 1914, Krylenko ... fled to Austria.' That gives him one year (at most) in which to get his degree. Do we have any verifiable evidence for this qualification?gpeterw (talk) 10:04, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edit/move

The para titled People's Commissar of Justice stated that K became Commissar of Justice and Prosecutor General in 1931. It then claimed that in this capacity he presided over the show trials of the 1920s, a chronological impossibility. So I moved the ref to these show trials back to the end of the Legal Career paragraph. 10:40, 22 March 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gpeterw (talk • contribs)

The crime of indulging in playing chess

According to the article, the main grievance voiced against Krylenko at the January 1938 party meeting was that he spent too much time climbing mountains and playing chess. It's very interesting how, after a track record of leading a kangaroo court that sentenced hundreds of prominent men to death, he fell from grace and was executed himself for - playing chess (something Lenin was also fond of doing, by the way). :) 195.67.149.163 (talk) 08:48, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
