This third program in a ten-part series marking the 50th anniversary of the USSR looks at several aspects of Soviet history. (A) The return of peace in 1918 with the signing of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. World War I had cost the Russians one million square miles of territory and 62 million lives; (B) The steady deification of Lenin contrasted against the atheism of the communist regime; (C) Lenin's concession to the capitalist law of supply and demand in instituting the New Economic Policy and thereby relaxing state control of the economy; (D) The emergence of the "golden period" in Russian literature, illustrated with readings from Babel, Mayakovsky, Mandelshtam, Akhamtova and Pasternak. Poet Irving Layton reads a poem by [Mayerovsky]. <30mn>
