Stakhanovism

Stakhanovism soon became a mass movement.

Stakhanovism would be useless in a country where the workers all work.

Difference Sirs: There is a difference between Stakhanovism and the speedup: The result of Stakhanovism is more goods for the workers, the result of the speed-up is more profits for the bosses.

As for famed & fantastic Dusia Vinogradova, that highly temperamental young Juno of the Soviet Textile Trust who makes amazing platform boasts of the scores & scores of Soviet looms she is able to tend simultaneously, the Young Communists sneered that Soviet cinema directors are following Stakhanovite Vinogradova around, beseeching her to realize that, with her obvious talents as a highly emotional actress, she is wasting herself in Stakhanovism and should go on the Soviet screen.

Here & there some bright Alexei Stakhanov may have a bright idea but in most Russian factories last week correspondents found that Stakhanovism means primarily overexertion.
