Russian "Types"

The article discusses the book "These Russians," by William C. White. The truth about Soviet Union is Janus-faced. Since the American public by and large has no basis for judging whether what an author says about Soviet conditions is correct or not, a tremendous responsibility rests on the writer in the choice of his material. He can create a most favorable impression or the opposite. Everything depends on his angle of vision, and on the data he selects. An average Soviet worker is thirty-five or forty, and is more pro-Soviet and a better reflection of the revolution than American Pavel Vassilich.
