Transcript | 36 WOMEN IN THE life for women. But the women of the East are particularly affected by this radiation of creative strength. There the proletarian revolution accomplished within the frontiers of the Soviet Union, and developing day by day, means a revolution in the deepest, the most comprehensive sense of the word, a revolution which, shattering the ideas, the prejudices, the institutions of many centuries, deeply influences every individual life. There, until the outbreak of the revolution, women suffered not only under religious laws, but also under century-old ideas which had their roots in the economic, social and cultural forms reaching far back into the grey past of society. The change taking place among the women of the East in the Soviet Union and making them day by day more energetic, more resolute co-operators in the work of socialist construction. This change is extending beyond the frontiers of the Soviet Union. It is affecting all the peoples of the East, it influences the farthest Orient, destroying the old, awaking new life. Under the influence of Red October, of the revolutionised position of women in the Soviet Union, revolutionary women forces are beginning to grow active all over the East. But comrades, besides these mighty facts, besides the Soviet Union building up socialism, there is another fact of equal world importance. That is the development of imperialism, growing out of the world economic and world political forces of capitalism. Let us not deceive ourselves; in the long run two such fundamentally opposite forms of historical development as capitalist imperialism and the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics cannot exist side by side. Imperialism of one, or of many States |
