Experiences of Russia – A Diary
Gareth wrote the Foreword:
“With knowledge of Russia and the
Russian language, it was possible to get off the beaten path, to talk with
grimy workers and rough peasants, as well as such leaders as Lenin’s widow and
Karl Radek.
We visited vast engineering projects and factories, slept on the
bug-infested floors of peasants’ huts, shared black bread and cabbage soup
with the villagers - in short, got into direct touch with the Russian people
in their struggle for existence and were thus able to test their reactions to
the Soviet Government’s dramatic moves.”
