Russia as I saw it in Leningrad and St Peters
Richard Halliburton describes his visit to Leningrad and St Petersburg, contrasting czarist grandeur with Soviet austerity. He notes 24 hour construction, vast palaces converted to worker housing, and a now impoverished city center. He praises the Marinsky Ballet yet laments missing private wealth and luxury, arguing the new regime denies finer goods while clinging to old symbols of power.
