Dzyuba, Ivan. International ism or R u ssific a tio n ? A S tu d y in th e S o v ie t N a tio n a litie s Prob lem . London, Weidenfeld and Ni- colson, 1968. Pp. 240. Only 40% of books published are in the Ukrainian language. In the institutions of higher learning in the U krainian SSR there are 18 students for each 1.000 of the Russian population of Ukraine, but only 8 for each 1.000 of Ukrainians. Even films produced by the U krainian stu dios are shown to the people of the U krainian republic dubbed in Russian official relations, social and civic activities, economic life, business adm inistration are con ducted alm ost exclusively in Rus sian. The U krainian language is openly discrim inated ag a in st: persons using it become fre quently the b u tt of derision or are branded as bourgeois n a tionalists. The development of U krainian culture is being deli berately held back and impover ished by various m easures while Russification is actively fostered and promoted in all walks of life. Ivan Dzyba, a Soviet-educated young literary critic from Kiev, makes a strong case against the Russification of Ukraine. W hat is most interesting, however is the fact th a t he does it from the standpoint of M arxism-Leninism arguing th a t the centuries old Russian chauvinism is contrary to the principles of Lenin’s policy on nationalities. A brilliant schol arly treatise, Dzyuba’s work makes a plea for the freedom of discussion — but his book could only be published in the W est. As Peter Archer, a member of the B ritish Parliam ent, notes in his P reface: “There is little pros pect of discussing hum an rights, if the rig h t of free discussion is not itself recognized.” W isd o m i s s o m e tim e s n e a r er w h en w e s to o p th e n w h e n w e so a r.
