SUhMdARY
The rapidly-narrowing gap between the Soviet attitude toward Hitler Germany, on one hand,
and the erstwhile Western allies, on the other, is repeatedly stressed in the bulky volume
of central and regional comment on the 11th anniversary: of, the German invasion of the USSR.
In industry, much official pressure is exerted toward the achievement of higher production
quality without: sacrificing quantity. Resistance to a further speed-up of production is
seen in the regional radio and press complaints that fast-working stakhanovites, "whose example
is to be emulated," are often prevented from demonstrating their superior achievements
in plants. Some attention is focused on the average consumer and the amenities of his
daily life. The latter are reported to be adversely affected by the continuing housing
shortage and entirely unsatisfactory medical service.
Ideological fault-finding is confined to the Ukraine, where the hatred for bourgeois-
nationalists is "not strong enough", and Uzbek SSR, the', latest "enfant prodige" of the
Soviet ideological family. Lecture propaganda In these'Republics is said to be affected by
the mental climate prevailing in industry. The objectionable tendency to work for
"high quantitative indices" of political lectures without regard to their contents is undoing
much of what propaganda is intended to do. Disparaging references to the attitude toward
Uzbek women suggest the. belief that their widely-heralded equality with men, in that
Republic at least, is not yet a fait accompli.
