[lace] communism good for lace

[miriam]

I have had a cleaning woman who came from the former Soviet Union. When she 
saw and understood what I was doing she told me
that the Vologda School was kept going by Stalin as he saw in it an 
important resource for the country. He even encouraged the teachers to do 
more lace.
I hope this information which she gave me is correct.

As to lace in the  Czech Republic, my first lace teacher was from Prague, 
and managed to get out of there in 1964.

Apart from learning to make lace she had to go to an art school and a 
textile school ( higher education).
