1/116
First published in 1967 in commemoration of the
50th anniversary of the Russian Revolution
This is an Internet version of Victor Vashi's originalbook, which is long out of print and the publisher nolonger exists. The message of this book is so vital an
well delivered we felt it a shame not to share it with
the world. Especially considering the recent attempts
by ussia's ruling elite to bring back the glory of thegood old !"".
The content below was reproduced from a tribute fansite redprimer.com, dedicated entirely to #r. Vashi's
book. $e've been linking to that site before, but
decided to post it here as well because we've had prio
bad experiences with disappearing websites, and thismaterial is too precious to let it disappear.
