Transcript | 34 WOMEN IN THE imperialist intervention, with the civil war and the blockade. It was the women who kept the wheels of economy and administration running. They worked in the trenches of industry and agriculture, and great numbers of them fought together with the revolutionary Red Army on all the fronts. Unseen, unheard, in uncounted hundreds and thousands, women fought with the heroes of the Red Army in the battle to maintain the Soviet Power. And, comrades, what an example they gave ! In this period of socialist construction, women are everywhere urging forward that great work, on the economic front, on the political, the cultural fronts. I shall not enter here into the details of this creative work. I only want to make one point, and that is the extraordinarily important and successful participation of women of the Soviet Union in the cooperative system. This sphere of work, more perhaps than any other, is suitable for establishing contact between the proletarian working women in the town and the working peasant women in the villages. The extension of the co-operative system, its permeation with the true Leninist spirit is of fundamental importance for the development towards socialism. Let us remember what Lenin said, that the carrying out of the principle of co-operation, the solidarity of communal work in all spheres of activity, means the realisation of socialism. The energetic co-operation of women in carrying out the co-operative principle is of great • importance, for we must remember that an essential condition for the carrying out of that principle is a revolution in feeling, in thought, in will and action, in short, in the whole attitude of individuals to mankind and to nature. |
