...understand the economic and social changes of the emerging, non-communist Russia. "The breakup of the Soviet Union was the right thing to do. But in trying to regain our rights, we are discovering that we have no rights left. We are losing the essential benefits of a socialist society-the right to work, the right to a free education, the right to housing." The children in her classrooms may be able to adapt to the new system, she says, but her own generation is lost. "We're the discarded generation. Our mentality, our habits are of a previous...

Peasants are beginning to pour into Hanoi, Danang and Ho Chi Minh City in search of work. Most...

Unfortunately, both attack the problem with a hostile pessimism through which they call for socialist revolution.
