...nine years Maxim Maximovich Litvinoff trotted about Europe as the Foreign Commissar of Soviet Russia. Although he had never been much of a power within the Soviet Union, he was one of the few old-line Bolsheviks who could talk to capitalist diplomats in their own language. He made an able traveling salesman for Joseph Stalin. At the endless, shilly-shallying, post-war conferences he was the vigorous symbol of an era when the Soviet was plugging the theory of collective security, backed every democratic move aimed at the Axis. But he was sold out all along the line...
...member of the Central Committee's Secretariat, Georgi Maximilianovich Malenkov, admitting that Soviet industry had been slowed down by a top-heavy bureaucracy, buck-passing, lazy administration.

...plain, unvarnished days of the Russian Revolution, the Chekists used to keep batteries of automobile engines constantly running to drown out the human and mechanical sounds from the execution cellars. As Russia sought to "catch up with and surpass capitalist technology," less garish techniques were found for silencing the human voice. Few of the men & women who might tell how Communism really works ever escaped to tell. The handful who did* were defeated by a twofold irony: 1) they were suspect as Communists, doubly suspect as ex-Communists; 2) the things of which they tried to warn the world were...
