DOI: 10.31518/2618-9100-2020-1-16
A letter is published by collective farmers of one of the regions of Altai to the women of America in March, 1932 in connection with International Women’s Day. The letter depicts a picture of the successful “building of socialism” in Siberia against the background of the “backwardness” of the village under tsarist autocracy and calls for the solidarity of the “world proletariat”. Appeal serves as a model of propaganda and clearly expresses the features of collective consciousness of people during the period of collectivization.
