This article presents information about the book "The Diary of a Communist Undergraduate," by N. Ognyov and translated by Alexander Werth. Ognyov's book offers a fascinating and vividly authentic picture of the bewildering social and psychological changes in the student life of Soviet Russia. Contrary to all dictates of artistic unity, the book concludes with what sounds like a veritable nationalist rhapsody. There is a subtle discrepancy here, a scarcely perceptible shift of emphasis from the proletariat to the peasant, from urban to rural ideals.
