First published in 1933, This Russian Business analyses Soviet Russia. The author wanders through the vast U.S.S.R., delving into every corner of society with an inquisitive and intelligent perspective, often uncovering moments of humor along the way.
The Five-Year Plan, communal living, censorship, Red propaganda, the Ogpu, terrorism, forced labor, justice and the courts, the Church, the collective farm—no interesting aspect of modern Russia is left untouched. First-hand impressions are skilfully interwoven with a well-balanced appraisement of every aspect of Russian life. This book will be a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of Russia.
