February 2000
"Knit
for me, dear mama,
A dress of fine red calico
With a Stakhanovite I will go strolling
With a backward one I don't want to."
Recited at the
3rd Congress of the Donetsk oblast soviets, and
found in Lewis H. Siegelbaum, Stakhanovism and
the Politics of Productivity in the USSR, 1935-41,
Cambridge University Press, 1988, p.230-1.
Peter
Lowe
For his loyal service to the People's Organ, his continuing attention
to significant literary questions, and especially for his quota-bursting
productivity to welcome the new Millennium in an appropriate manner,
the Editors of the Turtle are pleased to annoint Comrade Peter
Lowe the Stakhanovite of the Month for February 2000!
