' On one: evening — they attended the Bolshoi. Ballet “truly magnificent,’’ Miles said, and at in- termission time, it was: as though the whole audience was suddenly in snguon, “roaring up high-speed - elevators to the refreshment bar and back down again when the ballet resumed.” Almost in ‘unison, Miles said. And, at the end of the performance, lined up eight aia ‘to: get their coats. Suddenly, a couple of large, burly men. elbowed their way through the crowd and presented their checks. ‘They got ‘their garments. ‘Looking at his companion; Miles did = the same. It seemed to be the way — -. bully through. THE REVIEW ‘And, at the Same time, a complete acceptance of ‘discipline. For no apparent reason a small woman strung.a rope across the exit doorway. :. Everybody ‘stopped -— ‘dead — and waited for a few moments until she lifted the frail barrier. No questions: — just general acquiescence. And in Red Square and on the streets —-a whistle blew, police motioned and people obeyed. — “If we, as policemen, asked people here to do the _ same sort of thing that they seem to willingly accept in Moscow,’’ said Miles, ‘‘we 7 would: get the old finger signal — and no mistake.”’ They . watched cars driving out of the Kremlin. You could tell, they: were told by their guide, how important the official was by the size of his car and the ‘way it was driven. | If a big car, bigger thana Cadillac, roared out of the Kremlin at 60 miles an. hour, its windows shrouded: and with police ‘blowing whistles and clearing a way for‘it — you could be sure the Red official was an important one. If, on the other hand, a smaller. car emerged at a slower speed, the official was, correspondingly, of | less importance, The black market is alive and well. in Russia, the visitor reported, Time and. again: they. were offered roubles at four fora U.S. $1 when the official rate was something like. one rouble for $1.80 Canadian. Miles, who got back just a week ago, recalled the drive from the airport at which they arrived to Moscow. Along the route, he said, were houses, some of logs, some of them not more than shacks by our reckoning. They were told. that they were the residences associated with a collective farm. On ‘such farms machinery, fertilizer and seed was supplied and all else was supported by farm profits. “On state farms, contrast, workers were housed in 15-20 storey highrises. On such farms everything was supplied. by | the state. Women’s liberation in Russia has advanced to such a state that gangs: of -by women were to be seen in the early morning, peeling inches of ice off the streets with picks. Asked why and if the ‘women wanted to do this work, the guide replied: “Of course they like it — they like the fresh air.”’ The line of demarcation between town and country is sharply drawn, - Miles said. Moscow. is a sea of highrise buildings. Everybody but everybody. — lives apartments. There are few if any — single-family dwellings in that metropolis. Shopping is an ordeal ‘in Moscow. First you must line up to get into the store and then choose your ar- ticle, remember its exact price and. line’ up at a cashier’s booth to make payment and get a-slip. Then line-up to take the slip back to the clerk and. get -your .article wrapped. All very time consuming and cumbersome. To crown their. ex- perience they went to a restaurant in Moscow on .
