Rabindranath Tagore wrote from Russia in 1930
Moscow appears much less clean than the other European capitals. None of those hurrying along the streets look smart. The whole place belongs to the workers... Here the masses have not in the least been put in the shade by the gentlemen... those who lived in the background for ages have come forward in the open today... I thought of the peasants and workers in my own country. It all seemed like the work of the Genii in the Arabian Nights. [here] only a decade ago they were as illiterate, helpless and hungry as our own masses... Who could be more astonished than an unfortunate Indian like myself to see how they had removed the mountain of ignorance and helplessness in these few years.
