Abstract

modern agricultural machinery. Everywhere there were new buildings, and he noted that, industrially, Soviet Russia was progressing at a rapid rate. At the state farm, he was given excellent meals, in contrast to those given to the starving peasants working there. A week later, on August 26th his arrival in Berlin, near the station for Saxony, he wrote another letter to his parents: Hurray! It is wonderful to be in Germany again, absolutely wonderful. Russia is in a very b a d state; rotten, no food, only bread; oppression, in- justice, misery among the workers and 90 percent discontented. I saw some very b a d things, which made me mad to think that people like Ber- nard Shaw go there and come back, after having been led round b y the nose and had enough to eat, and say that Russia is a paradise. The winter is going to be one o f great suffering there and there is starvation. The government is the most b r u t a l in the world. The peasants hate the Com- munists. This year thousands and thousands o f the best men in Russia have been sent to Siberia
