1929. A Russian returns to his country following the Revolution and chronicles the moral decay of the society. This is a fascinating sociological study of the effects on ordinary people of the socialist experiment that followed the Russian Revolution. Hindus attempts to give a picture of the results of the revolutionary effort in Russia to uproot ancient institutions and to refashion the ways of man into a society without religion, with sexual freedom, with external compulsions removed from family and love, with mental and manual workers reduced to a plane of equality, with the individual depending for his salvation not on himself but the group.
