Several independent scholarly sources confirm that the All-Union Central Committee of the New Alphabet (VCKNA) existed in the Soviet Union, operating in Baku and then Moscow during the 1920s and early 1930s. The claim is a faithful extraction of the passage's assertion that it 'actually existed.'
What was said
… This should just sound pretty familiar. Libraries were completely purged, and, you know, as both Lenin and Stalin believed that there will be a global language, and they'll use Latin letters in this global language. In fact, they created a new alphabet. The All-Union Central Committee of the New Alphabet actually existed. Uhm, so, uhm, and this is temporary.

Supports. A Soviet-era language policy study states that the main organization supporting the new alphabet policy was the All-Union Central Committee of the New Alphabet (vckna), established in Baku and moved to Moscow from 1926 to 1937.[1]
Supports. A research work on Soviet Kyrgyzstan reports that the Bolsheviks set up an All-Union Central Committee of the New Alphabet in Baku in 1925, which became a central organization for Soviet language construction.[2]
Supports. An encyclopedia-style entry describes the All-Union Committee for the New Alphabet (VTsK NA), formed in 1929 under the RSFSR People's Commissariat, which officially completed its work by mid-January 1930.[3]
Supports. A 2026 scholarly article on Korean romanization describes the 1920s latinization movement as led by the All-Union Central Committee of the New (Latinized) Alphabet (VTsKNA) attached to the USSR CEC's Soviet of Nationalities.[4]
Context. Sources differ on the exact name and dates (New Turkic Alphabet committee in 1926-1927, later renamed the New Alphabet committee; a 1929 RSFSR committee), but these are naming and period variations of the same body rather than a contradiction of its existence.[1][3][5][6]
