Suppression and Free Speech in Post-Revolution Russia
A long contemplation on the Soviet press decree, censorship, and the fate of monarchist and political papers. The piece contrasts Russian editors' hunger for freedom with revolutionary controls, notes the high paper costs and scarce distribution, and recounts anecdotes of prisoners reading papers. It cites Lenine, the Decree of the Press, and examples of newspaper suppression and limited liberty.
