Portrait of Russian village life a palace beside a Soviet hovel
A World War II era dispatch describes a peasant town near Frunze with the Frunze collective farm. It contrasts starkly with urban life, noting 100000 Soviet cars, 95000000 peasant homes, and a shift from log hovels to electrified cottages. The article surveys a 92 year old comrade leader, farm villages, and the strain of collective farming. It questions the cost and benefit of the dictatorship.
