Abstract
THIS new journal has been started with the purpose of supplying "the more scientifically skilled and specialized workers in the British Commonwealth with a regular flow of information, accurate and reliable, on the progress and developments that are being realized in the U.S.S.R., in their own field, the field which they understand best". Very wisely the first issue is largely devoted to accounts of exhibitions, particularly of the great Agricultural Exhibition held in Moscow last summer, which was unquestionably the most magnificent effort of its kind the world has ever seen. Dictatorships are based on propaganda, and the Russians are the acknowledged leaders of the world in this new art. The design of the Exhibition was coherent and logical: the products of each region were brought together into separate pavilions, and each of the chief products had also its own special arrangements for show. The architecture was impressive and striking: no one could possibly forget the huge statue at the gate or the tower just inside, or the beauty of some of the pavilions.
