This is quite natural, for such research would not be in the interest of the exploiters of labour." (Gorky). In the introduction the tremendous achievement to include all literature in the languages of national minorities is accentuated. Other contributions include Karl Radek's "Contemporary world literature and the tasks of proletarian art." Illustrated with full-page reproductions of b/w portrait photographs of contributors.
