An American writer recounts a tense visa interview with Soviet official Mr. Vavilov, where political questions mingle with literature and propaganda. He recalls confirming a Finland 1939 military tie as nonverbal opposition, the visa finally granted, and reflects on Joseph Stalin’s invitation via Eric Johnston promoting postwar optimism and trade.

A Glimpse of John L. Lewis and Johnston on a Soviet Tour
The narrative follows Eric Johnston, Joyce O’Hara, and Johnston’s role as Chamber of Commerce president as they travel from Washington to the Azores, Casablanca, Cairo, Teheran, and Moscow. It notes Johnston’s careful, practical approach, meeting Soviet diplomats in Tehran, and the stark contrast of Russian infrastructure and urban life with Western standards, including the first sight of Soviet roads and power lines near Moscow.
