The real Russia / by Katherine Suzanne Prichard. (Sydney : Modern Publishers, 1934)

One of the most prominent Communist writers in Australia was Katherine Susannah Prichard (she even features in the movie, "Shine"). She had been a founder member, in 1920, of the CPA, and served on its Central Committee. This book is an account of her journey to Russia in 1933. She visited a Commune in the Ukraine where she was assured the harvest had been good and the peasants all lived well.
