...Ivan Malyshev, deputy chief of the Central Statistical Administration, "all our vast territory from the cold rocks of Murmansk to the flaming sun of Kolkhida in the Caucasus, to see how people sow and reap, how every chemical complex functions, how every machine operates? If something goes wrong in Khabarovsk, can you merely press a button and straighten things out? A strange Utopia. Society is not the sum of mathematical zeros and digits. It is a living, creative body...
...reasons unknown, the Russians had permitted four Western military attachés (three American, one British) to ride the Trans-Siberian Railway all the way from Moscow to Khabarovsk, headquarters of the Soviet Far East military command. It was the first time in two years that any foreigners had been allowed on the 2,300-mile stretch from Irkutsk to Khabarovsk, which runs straight through what is presumed to be Russia's new belt of atomic plants and missile sites.

In a blistering editorial, Pravda pointed out that Peking had published a history textbook containing a map that showed China's frontiers as including parts of the Soviet far east-the Maritime Krai, Vladivostok and Sakhalin; a large part of Khabarovsk Krai and Amur Oblast; parts of Kirgizia, Tadzhikistan and Kazakhstan as far west as Lake Balk hash. This reinterpretation of geography would in effect push the Chinese border as much as 300 miles into the Soviet Union (see map). In a fit of Asian self-righteousness, Peking also demanded that...
