About This Book

A firsthand journalistic account of post-revolutionary Soviet Russia, recounting travels through front-line towns, Moscow, and Petrograd and encounters with Red Army units and Bolshevik officials. The narrator records interviews with leading figures and sketches of party leaders while observing urban shortages, peasant conditions, industrial experiments, and agricultural policy. Reports examine propaganda, education, women and children, and episodes associated with repression and civil conflict. Appendices reproduce labor codes, trade-union resolutions, financial policies, and industrial and agricultural reports, providing documentary context to the on-the-ground impressions.
