March
11 The President of the Kolkhoz said they had enough seed, but
move towards
the South there was a lack of seed. He said that two families had been sent away from the
village of 120 dvor.
Probably he was kind-hearted.
The discussion was very open, the peasants saying that it have
never been
so bad, the Pres. saying faint-heartedly that great sacrifices had to be made.
One peasant: “If only Lenin had lived, we’d be living fine. He
knew what was going to happen. Here they’ve been chopping and changing
policy & we don’t know what’s going to happen next. Lenin would not have
done something
violently and then said that it was an oшибka (mistake).”
