Can you make it clear for me? Thanks.
It is written that Lenin agreed to be a tutor to help a boy. He (Lenin) did not take money for that even though his (Lenin's) family needed money because it (family) just lost father.

I think you understood the previous text wrong.

Let me guess, this is an excerpt from one of those cheesy "memoirs" about how Lenin was so nice, so good, so smart, so kind etc... Soviet children were reading such stuff at school. AFAIK, American children are reading at school something similar about Founding Fathers. What about Spain?
