Computer " scanning " can preserve precious historical documents and manuscripts

" But in the end, as the Left Opposition manuscripts attest, especially under such extraordinary suffering, the pursuit of the absolute material interests of the revolutionary working class cannot be defeated (or even co-opted!)--individually or collectively. "

          I am relieved to know that modern computerized " scanning " - now available as free service in public libraries- can preserve these documents for future reference. How many precious historic documents disappeared that witnessed the titanic events of the past -like the Fall of Rome ? How much do we really know about the collapse of the Soviet Union circa 1991 ?

         I hope that some talented composer of classical music can honor these Old Bolshevik martyrs with a work comparable to a Beethoven symphony . Their names should be inscribed on grand monuments.
