A Leningrad Letter
Laski, Harold J. | July 18, 1934 issue

Generalizations about Soviet Russia are even more dangerous than those one tends to make about other countries. Its size is so vast, its complexities so intricate, that one can find in any region the material for a mass of contradictory affirmations. In a month's stay the author met Russians who have insisted to him that, there is no democracy here and that there is no finer democracy in the world, that there is no such thing as justice in Soviet Russia and, that the legal system in Soviet Russia is its supreme achievement.
