"One
cannot speak to Stakhanovites as a teacher, but
as to equals. They discuss Tolstoy's style and
how it resembles that of Homer."
P.
Romanov, Novye liudi in Novyi mir,
no.3 (1936, 157-64), taken from Lewis H.
Siegelbaum, Stakhanovism and the politics of
productivity in the USSR, 1935-41, Cambridge
University Press, 1988.
Caroline Brooke
For her stalwart support of the Voice of the Turtle;
her pathbreaking translation of Brezhnev-era verse, a pair of
excellent articles on Soviet history and post-Soviet politics,
and an endless supply of Bolshevik Soundbites of the Week, the
Editors of the Turtle (only one of whom is a close relative)
are delighted to make Comrade Caroline Brooke the Stakhanovite
of the Month for May 1999!
