The Balance Sheet of Sovietism (Classic Reprint)

Russia has attracted the -attention of civilized mankind. Much has been said and written about the amazing degradation of the political, social and economic life of a country which hitherto was justlyconsidered the biggest reservoir of wealth and economic potentiality. In our day the fact can scarcely be denied that Russia spresent suffering was caused by and is the direct result of the incompetent and sinister Communist practice wrought upon her people by a small but unscrupulous and closely organized group of professional agitators or incurable theoreticians belonging to the Marxian school. I dle are the attempts to explain the systematic destruction of Russian economics by the much debated Allied blockade, or the drought and other meteorological fluctuations, no matter how unfavorable such may have been. At present the most stubborn Socialist adherents are somewhat ashamed to attribute all the blame for the prevailing conditions in Russia to the events and circumstances which have had but an insignificant and rather remote bearing upon the destinies of her people. During a period of five years the Bolsheviki have been given the chance to work out a practical program for putting their theories into effect.
