In Stalingrad there is a battered, barricaded thoroughfare which is now used as a fort. It is full of shell holes and bomb craters, broken telegraph poles, heaps of broken glass and barbed wire entanglements. There are still a few houses standing, and on one of them is a plate showing the name of the street: William Shakespeare Street. When a newspaper correspondent spoke to one of the defenders of this street the Red Army man said: “We are fighting for the right to read William Shakespeare.”
