the proletariat and the poorer peasantry
of Russia to uphold the present Soviet
regime would likewise cause most of
the female members Of those classes to

are certainly playing a large part, both
among the leaders and among the rank

not-thinks Algernon Lee, of the Rand
School of Social Science:
Are women Bolsheviki? find only
two points of difficulty. in framing an
answer to that question. First, | don't
know what the word 'Bolshevik' means,
as it is now used in this country. Second,
my limited experience teaches me that
each individual woman is likely to be an
exception to any general statement that
may be made about women collectively
and in this respect they are very much
like men.
"Whatever a Bolshevik is. | believe
women are about as likely to be it as
men are. In other words, when it is a
question of economic, political and So
cial tendencies, men and women do not
align themselves as men and women, but
as human beings who have been acted
on by certain social-economic conditions,
whose opinions, sentiments, ideals, hopes
and fears, sympathies and antipathies
are shaped by those conditions.

to Alexander Trachtenberg, of the Rand

Historically, Bolshevism represents
a faction within the Socialist movement
of Russia. 1t was a nickname given to
comparatively small group in the So
cialst party who adhered to tactics enun-
ciated at a party congress in 1908.
Those who were in a majority at that
congress on certain unmportant de-
cision were dubbed 'Bosheviki,' from
