“Brain-Washing”
Sir, —This subject has now had a considerable airing in your columns, with very little comment to mitigate the stark callousness of the methods employed by Communist Russia in order to subject opponents to the will of the degenerate rulers for their n v/n ends. We who live under the British flag find it hard to believe that such flagrant abuses of power can be found in a country that once gave us a Tolstoi, but so it is. The masses of Russia have fallen upon evil days, conditioned by ruthlessly false propaganda. We may well pity them, and their tragic lot may well be much worse before they find relief from their present almost Satanic regime. A providence “will shape their ends, rough hew them how they will,” in due time.—Yours, etc., RED LIGHT.
April 29, 1957. [This correspondence is now closed.—Ed., “The Press.”]
