Socialist Soviet Republics. Led by
the Communist Party, the proletarian
state power pursues the aim of tho
rough economic reorganization, as
well as gradual development OF
all social forms of life and institu-
lions towards Socialism. The Soviet
Union is the only country where
the full social and political emanci-
patton of working women is an es-
tablished fact. But most important
is-not legal recognition of women's
complete equality with men, but
rather abolition of all exploitation
and enslavement of man by man.
Entirely opposed to the theory and

AS if this were not enough, rivalry
and competition among the imperial
