Hello everynyan, we’re reading This Soviet World.
Week 4 we are reading Chapter 4: “The Growing Democracy.”
EPUB, a link to a PDF, and online reading options, can be found on Comrade’s Library. If you find problems with the EPUB tell me and I will fix it. Dessalines has made an audio book.

This was a very good overview of the basic Soviet form of democracy! Not much to add to here other than the fact that the Kiev soviet had 50% women delegates, an enormously progressive change. The anecdotes and examples provided by Strong put the theory to practice, in actual fact rather than legalistic theory. This is again the strength of such a work!
