1936
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

"We were promised a proletarian dictatorship. We are far from the mark. A dictatorship, yes, obviously; but the dictatorship of a man, not of the united workers, not of the Soviets. It is important not to deceive oneself, and it must be frankly acknowledged—this is not what was desired. One step more, and we should even say—this is exactly what was not desired."--"Return from the USSR" (1936) by André Gide |
