I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in learning about the Soviet Union, their trade unions, their working conditions, their technology, or what life was like for visitors.

Thanks, this looks really interesting, I have just got to the part where the visiting delegation are expressing surprise at the numbers of women working in the printing industry and being told that it was because of the losses during WWII.

I then went looking for figures and found this fascinating chart: WWII Casualties as a Percentage of Each Country’s 1939 Population
