Vol* X III HOLLYBURN^ P.O ., WEST, VANCOUVER, B.C., TH U R SD A Y , JU N E 9th» 1938 No. 10 \ RUSSIA BECOMES NATIONALISTIC MAY DAY COMMITTEE Russia has forsaken internationalism. The school child­ ren a iV being instructed in .the history of their country, which is the history of the Czars arid the Boyars. They are learning how Ivan III, Ivan the Terrible, Peter 1st and other of their despotic rulers of the past conquered Siberia, the Caucasus, large parts of Lithuania, Poitand, Sweden and Turkey. And so the original Bolshevistic ideal of the creation by a world revolution of a world state of workers has been given up. th e argum ent used in the text books to explain, this drastic change of a ttitude is that, while th eR u ^ ian people were irround down by the^ Czars, the la tter freed, those peoples theyN ̂ conquered from slavery a t the 'hands of their own rulers, and these conquests resulted in a large and strong Russian , state. There is held up for admiration th a t imperialism which ex- pre.sse,s itself in wars of conquest. The reason for all th is is not far to seek.' Russia could, not expect to indefinitely w ithstand the increasing Nazi-menace with its fanatic nationalism, if she insisted in training her people in the original Bolshevistic ideals. Stalin realized th a t ' sooner or later the world struggle between Russia and the Fascist nations m ust end in conflict. Therefore, he is incul­ cating in his people a national sentim ent and. a„ pride in their past history, which shall weld them into one strong unit to r the evil day th a t he forsees to be inevitable. . Another dream has melted away under the impact of fact, as is the manner of d r^ m s . The Bolshevist conception of a world s ^ t e of workers, however, even if not a dream, was doomed to failure from the beginning. In the first place a country like Russia, where such a large propo^rtion of the people were illiterate, was the last place in which to try out -"Such a vast social experiment. -^Secondly,a brotherhood of ' mankind, can never be established by personal violence ^nd revolution, which are the very antitheses of brotherhood.
