Today's foremost Russian scientist is grouchy, white-whiskered, 86-year-old Ivan Petrovich Pavlov whose research on the salivary glands won him a Nobel Prize in Medicine (1904) even before his greater work on the conditioned reflex in dogs. Only Nobelist in the sciences Russia has had for three decades, old Dr. Pavlov does as he pleases, can bark with impunity: "I deplore the destruction of cultural values by illiterate Communists" A government of Communists gently pooh-poohs him, hands him an institute, a pension, endowments...
...doings of a Pavlov and others like him who prefer to work in supercilious obscurity are not calculated to stagger the Russian-in-the-street and confound the Capitalist world. In a nation of peasants which is so excited by the parachute that it is training millions to jump, men with spectacular ideas are popping up by thousands. The U. S. S.

...proletarian, is not Soviet propaganda. It aims to show the miseries of the proletariat under Soviet rule, to make a case for the survivors of the Tsarist aristocracy.

At first Fear was banned by Soviet authorities as counterrevolutionary. Later its production was permitted as part of the U. S. S. R.'s self-criticism plan. Last week it received its first performance in the U. S., not on Broadway...
...vitally interested in the reflexes and workings, dissections, and explanations in Russian, of the brains of children, frogs, idiots, or syphiletics, "Mechanics of the Brain" is at best boring. Pudovkin's film records of Professor Ivan Pavlov's physiology research work on the reflex action of the brain, now shown to the public for the first time, should henceforth only be exhibited in biological and psychological laboratories...
