Of course, it is not the particular experience which the workers possess that has caused the favorable balance of the Soviet estates, this being mainly due to the fact that the productive work in the realm of agriculture under modern conditions is a business not liable to lose. And this is natural: industry in all its forms depends upon the supply of fuel, raw material, and food. Nationalized rural economy has an inexhaustible supply of solar energy—a fuel supply independent of transportation of the blockade. The fundamental element of production—land—does not demand any “colonial” means of restoration of its productivity. And as for provisions, these we get from the earth under the sun! After eight months of work on the nationalization of our rural economy, as a result of two years of titanic struggle on the part of the proletariat for the right to organize the Socialist industries with its own hands,—is it not high time to admit that the most expedient, most far-sighted, and correct method to stabilize the Soviet power would be to use the greatest number of organized proletarian forces for the work of nationalizing our agriculture? N. BOGDANOV. Transcriber’s Note The page reference in the list of Illustrations to p. 54 (LENIN AT HIS DESK IN KREMLIN, 1919) is incorrect. The photograph appears facing p. 50. The entry has been corrected. On p. 149, a train station town is variously spelled ‘Kreisberg’ and ‘Kreizberg’. Both are retained. In the Appendix, the organizational names of various Unions are variously called ‘Trades’ or ‘Trade’. No attempt was made to make them consistent. On p. 257, the quoted passage beginning "The consolidation of the mills..." has no closing quote, and it is unclear where it might have been intended. The following table provides information on the relatively few typographical errors, and their resolution. p. 25 Rej[z]istza Removed. p. 46 sold[i]ers Added. p. 98 [o/O]ne priceless painting Corrected. p. 192 I[t/f] at the First Corrected. p. 207 [(]five groups and 15 Added. categories) p. 222 follow[low]ing Line break repetition. p. 227 con[s]truction Added. p. 228 Vo[ac/ca]tional Transposed. p. 232 Commit[mit]tees Line break repetition. p. 256 econo[o]mic Line break repetition. p. 274 territor[it]y Removed.
