THERE was no country in the world
l more harrassed with racial prob
lens than Russia before the revolu-
ton. In the Crimea, it was Tartar
against Turk; in the Caucasus, Georg.
ian against Armenian; in the Ukraine
Gentle against Jew, and in Asiatic
Russia, Moslem against Christian.
1t might be said that the Jew was
the Negro Of Russia, insofar as the
Jewish question exhibited in its gen
eral outlines many features common
to the Negro problem of America.
Under the czarist regime, the Jew
was not permitted to live in the larger
and more important cities of Russia
and in only few places was he per
mitted to carry on agricultural pur-
suits. A fundamental measure of the
czarist policy toward the Jewish rae,
In Russia was that Of segregation,
and thus the Jew was confined to what
was called the Pale Settlement, a strip
of territory on the Austrian border
THE Jew was subjected to periodic
| wholesale lynchings, termed in
Russian "pogroms." No Russian of
reputed responsibility would patron
ize cafe that served Jews. The Jew
was in every sense of the term a par
iah in Russian society. In Asiatic
Russia, particularly in Turkestan, the
native people were not given equal &C
commodations on tramways, in thea
& ters, in restaurants, etc., nor were
adequate school facilities afforded
them. No Moslem native was permit
ted to live in what was known as
the European section of the cities in
Turkestan. OF the many racial groups
within the old Russian empire, each
and every one had it's social problems.
Racial maladjustment was an out
standing fact in the social life Of old
Russia.
DUT following the proletarian revo-
- luton, the Bolsheviki approached
these racial problems with a direct
ness and a scientific understanding
such as characterizes the statesman
ship Of no other country in the world.
Wherever the Jew, prior to the revo-
luton, was strictly segregated and os-
tracized' from the fun life of the ma
ton, today he has become a complete
integer of national life. He lives
wherever he chooses, and the Ques-
ton of the Jew no longer constitutes
subject of political discussion. In
respect to the races of the Caucau-
sus, of Crimea, and of Eastern Russia,
which constituted colonials within the
old Russian empire, the recent terri
torial realignment made by the Soviet
government has meant the creation
of number of republics in which each

The RACIAL QUESTION IN SOVIET RUSSIA

of these races may enjoy group au-
tonomy as solution of the national
and racial problems and the means. by
which every trace of racial friction is
obliterated.
THE native race of Turkestan is the
Uzbek people, but since October
Turkestan has been converted into
what is known as Uzbekstan. An W.
bek race which, before the revolution
was subject to the most repressive
policy on the part of the car, finds
itself today a quite free and independ-
ent and politically important people.
The Kirghizes people, nomadic
race of the Russian steppes, hove for
themselves a Kirghizes republic. The
Turkomans, of middle Asia, have their
republic. The Armenians, who have
suffered much, both under the sultan
of Turkey and the car of Russia
have their own republic. 1t is the
same with the Tartars, the Georg
ians, etc.
THESE many republics do not
| stand alone as small political en-.
titles, isolated from the larger and
more developed Russian life, but to-
gether they constitute the Russian
Federation of Socialist Soviet Repub
lies, or the Russian Union of Socialist
Republics.
When one analyses the racial prob
lem that once existed in Russia, it is
surprising to note the strong similar.
ity that obtained between them an6
the Negro problem of America 1t is
striking to note in these former Rus
sian problems the same measure o
repression, the same tricks Of decep
ton, the same attitudes, ETC., that
characterize race relationships in Am.
erica. In the very inherent nature O.
the Soviet system, race friction today
il Russia is unthinkable.
n PRIME motive of my trip to Rus
n STA was to ascertain to what ex-
tent the Soviet system of government
was able to effect a solution of the
many vexatiouS racial problems of old
czarist Russia. My eight months
stay in Russia, attended with travel
and study, has rendered me thoroly
convinced that the solution of the Ne
gro problem in America 5 is possible
only after the revolutionizing of the
American social order. Race prejudice
is not an inherent thing in the mental
makeup Of the individual, but springs
from the capitalist order of society
The individual, the child, it smay be
noted in the most remote section of
the Southern states, does not affec'
racial arrogance until it has been brot
in touch with public institutions-th
school, the church, the press, etc. The
very nature of capitalism makes this

the first government of workers and
peasants, for they know that Russia,
left alone, becomes a source of the
deepest inspiration to the workers Of
all lands. Too, they know that the
workers of Russia are interested and
are willing to give their active support
to the workers Of all other countries
in their effort to establish free So
ciety-a society free of oppression Of
the working class, a society free of all
racial friction and in which the
masses should have the opportunity
of imbibing and benefiting by all that
our twentieth century has brot US in
the way of culture.
THE American Negro has never
| been contented under his social
conditions; he has begun many move
ments with the definite aim of his So
Icial uplift. The outstanding social
abuses always uppermost in the mind
of the Negro masses are those of
lynching, Jim Crow-ism, residential
segregation, political disfranchisement
in the South industrial discrimination,
etc. His reformist organizations are
directed primarily towards the remov.
al of these social inequalities But
we find that those who direct the fate
Of the race are themselves so involved Z
in the interests Of the. ruling class Of
t1is country that they, out of self-in-
terest, are always compelled to limit
t1eir actions. Race riots, lynchings,
rlcial hostility in general between the
black and white worker are condi.
Itions conducive to the maintenance of
the system.
The Negro petty-bourgeois leader,
the Negro intellectual, have betrayed
the interests of the working class of
the race time and time again. And
if the Negro is developing at this time
a real revolutionary group, it is be-
cause more and more of the members
OF the race are coming to see that
freedom and the solution of the Ne
gro problem can only come thru a
mass movement on the part of the
Negro working class.
THE Negro proletariat holds the
key of salvation of the race. The
Communist society of the future
alone will save the race, and it will
be in the new society only that the
inherent and native power of the race
will be enabled to bloom forth in full
fruition, and the Negro to give his
true and real worth to human prog
ress. The Workers Party is the Com
munist Party of America, and it is the
logical party to which the Negro race
should ally itself, for it alone is the
only party which can propagate the
idea of equality for all peoples.
