Anna Dodonova

Anna Dodonova (1888-19??) was a Bolshevik activist and intellectual. She participated in the Bolshevik coup as a member of the Moscow Military Revolutionary Committee. Following the seizure of power she participated in the cultural division of the Moscow Soviet. She was on the governing body of Proletkult from its establishment in 1918 until disbandment in 1932.[1]

She was married to Valerian Pletnev and helped him implement Lenin's plan to subordinate Proletkult as being entirely subordinate to the People's Commissariat for Education (Narkompros), which would in turn be subordinate to the Bolsheviks.[2]
