REPORT ON RUSSIA.
Sir,-Your report on Russia by Bruce Atkinson, in a recent Listener, is most interesting. Atkinson has done a splendid job for the Anti-Soviet campaign. It is all very disturbing, because I have just read two books, written by people who have lived in Russia, Violet Lansbury in An Englishwoman in the U.S.S.R. speaks highly of the country and people. So does Quentin Reynolds in his book Only the Stars are Neutral. Atkinson refers, rather scathingly, to the worship of portraits of Lenin and Stalin, Every time I attend the pictures. here, everyone in the theatre stands, while a picture of the head of the British Empire is thrown on the screen. The same sort of hero-worship, I presume, Zaslavsky was pretty tough on Atkinson, but perhaps he (Zaslavsky) remembered how a leading English politician once referred to "bolshevism." Thanks for the interesting and enlightening article,
M.
