Transcript | 6 WOMEN IN THE in the Soviet Union." Kalinin was asked 200 questions, of which, of course, only the most important and urgent could be answered in his summing up. But in order to satisfy the numerous questioners, two hours during the midday break were set aside on two days for discussion, at which Smirnov, People's Commissar for Agriculture, was present, and in the end all those anxious for information had their curiosity satisfied. Who that saw it can ever forget that picture of a thousand women, white, brown and yellow, young and old, faces moulded sharply by life itself ? Who can ever forget "Batrachka," the insignificant looking peasant woman from the Ukraine, a little, limping old woman with young face tied around with a yellow handkerchief, in a printed calico dress, who mounted the tribune in that huge ornate hall and spoke, without stopping, of what her sisters had asked her to speak, and of what filled her heart and mind ?
