many Offices and peoples commits
sariats" and the technical and skilled
employees in government factories and
institutions form higher social class
and appear less dispirited. This may
be because they are Better fed and
slightly better housed.
Families of this class are allowed one,
two and sometimes three rooms to
themselves, according to their rank and
the number of persons in the family.
They earn on an average of $50 to $50
belong to the same class originally as
the small bourgeois, but they are gen.
orally better educated and they are ex-
pected to display a certain zeal for the
Soviet regime.
Floating" People.
AS far as good faith is concerned this
zeal is limited to a relatively small pro-
portion who really sympathize with the
Soviet policy. Mostly, these people are
floating" as they say in Russia. They
want to see a peaceful evolution of the
Soviet system in the direction of de-
mocracy. and they favor less govern
ment-ridden economic regime, the ex-
pansion of industrial concessions to for
eign capitalists and foreign policy
aiming at the rapprochement with Eu-
rope.
Should difficulties arise, they are not
to be relied upon, from the Soviet point
of view, and whenever political crisis
occurs with the Communist party they
are secretly tending toward the Right
Some of them, notably the so-called
economists, whose business it is to
make the necessary plans and draw up
statistical data for the trusts, the CO.
operative associations and the economic
services of the state, are definitely men,
ShevistS. They express admiration for
the social democratic system of Europe
and they look toward Germany and
America for leadership. They will even
show you with pride the complete works
of Hilferding, socialist theorist, hidden
in their bookcases behind heap of OFF,
cial literature.
Pray for Old Regime Comeback.
There are those, too, among the
technicians who in their secret hearts
are ferociously anti-Communist. They
are not asking merely for a return of
the past regime; they pray for the es-
Enlistment of capitalism, and their
sufferings are increased by the fact that
over and over again they tavn to pay
lip service to the Communists. They
feel this very deeply.
Regarding the intellectuals, profess
sorS, lawyers, writer's, poets. thinkers,
etc. they cannot be called orthodox;
that is to say, they are neither Commu-
nists nor Materalists. and their life in
Russia is frankly unbearable.
To obtain an idea of what liberty Of
thought is in the U. S. S. R, the fol-
lowing facts may be useful: An author
submitted to the censorship story
which began with these words: "He was
a painter of ikons and a very good
fellow"
Sorry" said the censor. "He was
either one thing or the other. You
must make an alteration accordingly in
your tale; otherwise I cannot pass it
for publication"
Another time an author was sent for
by the censorship. There are ton many
churches" he was told, "in your de-
scription of the town in your book. You
must cut some of them out"
Strict Censorship.
"But I mention only four" said the
man, land there were exactly four
churches in the place I am describing"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-10-09

ST can't help that" said the censor.
"You can do what you like. but I can
not allow more than two churches"
Woe betide the writer who tries to
get behind the censorship by distribute
ing a few lnimeograi,hed copies Of a
forbidden work, Or who may invite a
few friends to- listen to him lcading
something not passed by the censor.
All these people might well find them
selves deported for a lew years.
The people who feel themselves most
out of touch with the Bolshevist regime,
however, and in their despair and their
misery display the most reactionary
spirit, are those composing the i'm
mense crowd of the small folk of Mos
cow. Among these are the Dvorniks,
who are officially appointed to look after
the Cars apartment houses; the
porters and hotel and shop employees,
and the maidservants.
Except in the working class house.

In spite of all these undercurrents,
however, and in spite of the people
who mock the Soviets in their misery,
regularly and always without q divi-
sion, because abstention from voting
may mean the loss of home and en-
ployment.
At the same tlEae, among a portion
OF the employees of the Soviet in the
great mass Of black-coated workers,
among most intellectuals and technical
experts and among people who In other
countries would belong to the lower

against communism.

should not be forgotten that Russia,
with a population of 150,000,000, has a
working class, properly so-called, OF only
250O,000.
In the cities, even in Moscow, the
greater proportion of the inhabitants do
not belong TO the working class Mostly
they are clerical workers in offices and
shops, employees of the Soviet govern
lncnt and, to an enormous extent peo-
pie in all sorts of humble jobs.
These employees approximate the
working class in their standard of liv-
ing, but they differ from 1t in their
mentality, their habits and their social
origins. The government treats them
without any regard at all.
They have no right, like the indus
trial proletariat. to the moral caresses
of official f1attery; they are not allowed
to criticize the technical development of
the place in which they may De work
ing, nor may they question their all
powerful masters.
They do not work long hours, mostly
from 9 am. to $3.50 pm, and they draw
modest wages, which are about the same
as those paid unskilled laborers.
Initiate Bourgeois.
They try, nevertheless. to initiate the
small bourgeois of bygone era. They
are mostly recruited from among the
former employees of the cZariSt regime
and they are the relatives or descend
ants of the former small bourgeois and
even of the late bourgeeisie, properly
speaking, and sometimes of the nobility
itself.
These people live in constant fear of
the staff reductions which now and then
throw some of them into unemployment.
They adopt all kinds of unimaginable
plans to keep their pobs or to find new
employment if they get out of work.
Influential friends and favoritisn, too,
play much>n ore important part IN the
lives of these people, as indeed they
also play in the lives of Soviet function
aries, than occurs in Western Europe.
When these small bourgeois can be
persuaded to speak frankly generally
they pretend to be utterly Indifferent
to and ignorant of politics. they curse
the Communists and either express a
wish that the whites" may come back
into power or that democratic repub-
lie, with a consequent improvement in
their own condition, may be set up.
Subscribe to Loans.
They subscribe to the Soviet loan and
go to Soviet demonstrations solely be-
cause they are forced to do so. shall

who groaned at the thought that for

our good business employers come back
to us?"
AS whole, however, this mass of
people is shapeless and depressed, and
is not only incapable of taking con-
certed action but apparently has lost its
will power as well.

poor, has a maid. It would be impos-
sible to do without such assistance,
owning to the long-drawn-out character
of household work in Russia and the
interminahle waiting In queues outside
shops.
TO this class must be added clerks,
cab drivers. match and fruit sellers,
beggars without number and derelict
children.
Argument Is Quoted.
I remember listening to many
characteristic arguments with these
people, and will quote a typical one.
At the time of some Soviet elections a
civil servant who did not want to get
into trouble with his masters was tell
ing his maidssrvant to vote.
Look here" he said, 'you shall have
the whole day of, but do go and vote"
"Why should -" she replied. II don't
