...Ukraine, the woman book keeper of a collective farm, Yulya Kutasevich, stood accused of embezzling $55,000 in collusion with the farm chair man and half a dozen other local officials. So well protected was the operation that even as Yulya went about her double-entry bookkeeping, she was singled out by regional commissars as the best collective-farm accountant in her district, sent on an expense-paid trip to Moscow. The swindle was discovered only after agents of the Department for the Struggle Against Embezzlement of Social Property dropped in for a routine inspection. Last week Yulya was sentenced...
