Longjumeau Party School

The Party School of the Russian Social Democratic Labour in Longjumeau (Russian: Партийная школа РСДРП в Лонжюмо) was the first official party school of the Bolshevik faction of the RSDLP which was established to educate and train future party cadres.

It was created in the Spring of 1911 in opposition to the Capri Party School which was run by the Vpered faction.

Among the prominent lecturers were Nikolai Semashko, Inessa Armand, Yuri Steklov, Grigoriy Zinoviev, Lev Kamenev, David Ryazanov, Charles Rappoport and later Anatoly Lunacharsky.

Among the notable students were Grigory Ordzhonikidze, Vasily Mantsev, Yakov Zevin, Alexander Dogadov, and Eduard Prukhnyak.
