The latter, as a result, are left very much to their own dev3.ces, often committing such
ideological errors ae bourgeois obJeetivism.
The Scientific Council of the Institute of History of the
Soviet Academy of Sciences accepted the doctor's thesis o?
Kinderfarbe on pthe social philosophy of Charles Fourier and
its place in the history of -socialist thought". On closer
study of Ehis work it was found that it had been rri.tten
from the position of bourgeois obJectivism. (10 JLly)
The higher institutions of learning are once more cautioned against all forms of
"Talmudism'*, uncritical spirit, simplification and vulgarization.
Serious flaws in the development of riew uovrsr sources are dealt with in the PRAYDA
editorial of 12 July, which asserts that this branch of industry is lagging behind
the terms set by the plan. Inadequate socialist competition among the power workers
and insufficient attention to technological improvement aid stakhanovite work methods
are given ae 8ome of the reasons. Another- is the familiar lack of supervision on
? the part o? local Party committees.
The flurry precipitated by the unsigned PRAVDA article (2 July; not broadcast) exposing
nationalist tendencies in Ukrainian art and literature reveals that Sosyura s poem,
"Love the Ukraineo" (Lyubi Ukrainu~), was merely a convenient peg on which to hang e
blanket accusation of the Ukrainian Union of Soviet Writers. As indicated previously,
the first hint of deviations in Ukrainian literature was contained in the PRAVDA
editorial of 15 June, which stated bluntly that the modern industrial Ukraine was
badly depicted in the novels, stories and plays of today.
The significance of tine recent PRAVDA outbursts against the Ukrainian intelligentsia
may be seen in the vast inflow of material from every part of the Ukraine approving
the paper?s Justified criticism. Also significant is the resolution adopted by the
Central CcxmDittee of the Ukrainian Communist Party (home Service, 13 July) saying
that the pRAVDA criticism "ie recognized as Justified and well timed Bolshevik
criticism of the serious defects and mistakes in the field of ideological work in
the Ukraine."
The first admission of guilt comes from BOy,HEVITSKOYE ZNA1+dYA. (Odessa, 6 July) which
blames the Oblast Party organiza?tione for their failure in the political and
ideological education of the inte113genteia, and points ~o she weak spots in the work
of the Odessa section of the Union of Soviet Writers:
writersessewelltaseinadequat~e selfedlemandiareisometimea~e
conducive to over-praising works of art which are very weak
from an ideological and artistic point of view. (Russian

The PRAV~A editorial of 7 July said that .G.osyura ? s poem was so bad from an ideological
point of view that it might have been signed by "any enemy of the Ukrainian people
from 'the nationalist camp" but, likesstance oftwhat~mpght~betinterpretedfaseUkrainian

RADyAALSKA UKRATNA is the most vociferous of the lead~!.ng Ukrainian papers in its
criticism and self-criticism, related to ideological blunders in Ukrainian literature.
In addition to charging all the C amnunist editors and publishers with "an atrophy of
political awareness," the paper criticizes itself, as wall as PRAVDA UKRAINY, for
having failed to criticize the ideologically harmful verse of Sosyura's "Love the
Ukraine!" The paper even goes so far as to hint that the Central Committee of the
Ukrainian Ccamm~r-ist Party, its publisher, is not entirely blrmeleae in this respect:

This paper (RADYANSKA IIKRAINA) failed to assist the Central
Caamnittee of the Ukrainian Comvnmiat Party in exposing in
time the ideological perversions in literature and art...
and the verse (Sosyura~s poem) was frequently published.
(Kiev, 13 July)
The belated Ukrainian press attack has now also been extended to the works of Rylsky,
Pervoimaiaky and Voakrykat?nko, whose poem "Oh, Ukraine, 1[y Native Land:" is said to
be particularly offensive', since it digresses 'from the true visage of the socialist
reality of the Soviet Ukraine...devoid of ideas and bereft of the feeling of Soviet
patriotism." ',
Other Ukrainian press comment:
RADYANSKE SLOVO, Drogobych, 11 July:
A. aeri.aus situation also exists in the work of our
oblastpress, especially that of RADYAALSKE SLOVO. The
editorial staff has omitted the critical article of
the 3~oecow PRAVDA.
PRAyDA UKRAINY, Kiev, 10 July:
It is indispensable...to root out to the end any

the Rovno Town Communist organization.
Criticism of Azerbaijani ''literature, recently discovered to be blundering ideologically,
is comparatively mild; t2ie only reference to it appears in the P.ttAVDA editorial of
7 July which credits the ''Central Committee of the Azerbaijan Commux-ist Party with
uncovering the sires of the Writers Associations and taking appropriate measures to
raise the ideological level of literature. _
y~hortc~ omiru?s
AericultuTe: The Stalingrad and Rostov oblasts, frequently referred to as slow-progress
industrial areas, come in for some official criticism of their agricultural efforts by
STALTNGRAD.SKAYA PRAVDA which lists four rayons in whiah the performance of workers and
machinery in the farm fields, is ?a_ r be_or the maT~C, Tn Perelazovsky Rayon harvesting
equipment is said to be lying idle through lack o!.' lubricants. Leaders of
Kotelnikovslty rayon pay little attention to the organizatia~n of harvest work, and
much time is wasted in B81.~tieisky Rayon in removing the grain. Serious shortcomings
are also said to exist in the Dubovks Rayon where neither personnel nor equipment
ham.: beer. properly 'organized for the harvesting campaign, and, what is worse, where
political work has~been badly organized.
The paper particularly deplores the inefficient utilization of combine harvesters,
whose average daily productivity never exceeds 10 hectax.s, and suggests that Poor
organization may be the cause:
Tt is essential to change this abnoxzmal situation and to insure
that every combine-harvester work according to an hourly schedul?

field work. (3 Ju1y~

The Satellite radios are spar3.ng in their discussions of internal affairs and

rePerencas to resistance xithin Yugoslavia. Belgrade, or. the other hand, reports
internal problems in broadcasts to the variws Satellite countries.
Radio Moscow aoakes only passing reference to Yugoslavia in comment on the death
anniversary and morely says that he "undressed the criminal designs of the American
imperialists and of their Titoite lackeys against the Bulgarian nation...." (25 June);
but nowhere is there any mention of the reportedly cordial Tito-Dimitrov rElationahip.
Accusing the tSSSR of murdering Dimitrov, Belgrade claims that he approved Tito's
stand against Cominform control:
Later Dimitro~r...suppoxted the point of view of the
Yugoslav Coamnunist Party (against the Cominform
resolution) and deolared to Comrade D~i1as in the

among Hungarian workers, particularly inithe building and mining industries, and

Pursuing the manpower theme, SZASAD: 'P~ILD~ ibelabors the producers ~ groups and
cooperatives, especially the larger onea,~;for their unwillingness to work more than
eight hours a day, and says that an g-haux!'work day in agriculCure during the
