From the dust jacket flap, ""Maurice Hindus has always seen the Soviet Union in terms of individuals rather than plans, production figures, and ideology. During his long and frequent journeys through Russia, he has watched the dramatic development of a new society, and here he reviews the four decades of Russian Communism - a story of vast accomplishments and cynical betrayals, of selfless idealism and ruthless nationalism, of ceaseless crusades against religion and the remarkable triumph of the Baptists. But always his story is primarily of encounters with people and what they reveal about their lives and problems.""
