Theodor Seibert

Summary

Originally published in English in 1932, this book written by a German National Socialist journalist, and fierce critic of Soviet Russia, was the result of extensive travelling throughout the Soviet Union from 1926-1929. Ranging from Turkestan to Eastern Siberia, this was one of the most comprehensive books on Soviet Russia authored by a Russian speaking foreigner and covers everything from Tsarism to Antisemitism, the Soviet Press, the Police State and Bolshevik Economics.
