If I have the choice of traveling to Russia, India or New Zealand alone for a week for preliminary discussions or to spend that week with my family, I routinely choose my family. ↗

The poor peasant here hives under conditions quite different from those of Russia. Though often terrible, they are not as appalling as they were there. ↗
The revolution in Russia was terrible for the proletariat in the long years of its development and it is terrible now, after the victory. But at the actual time of revolution it was easy, and this was due to the peasants. ↗
