March 2000
"Now
I am a noted milkmaid, a Stakhanovite from
Pridneprov'e sovkhoz. I have become a
human being. I stand on my own feet, raising my
children and keeping house. I am twice as happy
as any man. Earlier I sat in my room, but now
almost every evening I go see friends: we dance,
go to the cinema, and sometime watch actors
perform."
[Sovkhoznaia
Gazeta, 26 November 1935, p. 3,
cited in Sheila Fitzpatrick, ed., Stalinism:
New Directions, p. 247]
Dominic
Sandbrook
A co-conspirator in the now-legendary Antebellum Parasexuality
Forum, Dominic Sandbrook has recently overfulfilled his Quota
with three fine Articles for the Turtle on American Politics.
For these contributions, and because he is our foremost exponent
of the valuable technique of Self-Criticism, the Editors of the
Turtle are delighted to proclaim Comrade Dominic Sandbrook the
First Anniversary Stakhanovite of the Month for March 2000!
