Divorce in Russia and America
Holzberg, Julius | June 19, 1929 issue

No question concerning the Soviet Union has received as much attention in the U.S. as has the subject of marriage and divorce. Philippics condemning these relations as free love and the nationalization of women on the one hand have been countered on the other with paeans of praise characterizing the marital status in Russia as heaven on earth. The divorce law is simplicity itself. Either party may obtain a divorce without stating any cause and without notifying the opposite party, simply by applying at the divorce bureau. The applicant gives his or her name, address and various other descriptive information, his identification papers are then stamped and the deed is done. No courts, judges, lawyers, fees, or delays.
