ABSTRACT
The broad sale of natural wealth continues, and traces of Russian gold remain inscrutable. To satisfy the demand of other union republics, billions of rubles are raked out of Russia's budget without the permission or will of those people who, by heavy labor, earned it. Russians have the highest proportion of industrial workers. The problem of the industrial working class is foremost a Russian problem, in so far as the working class is not only in Russia, but is represented to a significant extent specifically by Russians in many republics, if not in the majority of them. A situation is taking shape whereby the Soviet Union is turning more and more into a colony of multi-national corporations, while Russia within the Soviet Union remains a colony of other republics. The main problem consists of the fact that in the course of many years Russia did not give its billions even to the budget of the Union.
