And everyone but Bolsheviks will enjoy this passage, in a letter to ,Maxim Gorky: "Your news that a Bolshevik, although a former Bolshevik, was treating you by a new method, has made me really very anxious. God preserve us from 'comrade' doctors in general and Bolshevik doctors in particular. But seriously, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, 'comrade' doctors...
