ABSTRACT

AFter a recent visit of twenty-four days to Russia, spent in Moscow and Leningrad, two provincial towns, and a country village, I asked myself what was the dominating impression that I carried away. Readers may be surprised, and some of them may be scandalized, to hear that I came to the conclusion that what impressed me most in Russia was a sense of the moral advance represented in the new order of society which the Communists are trying to establish.
