Public opinion in Soviet Russia: A study in mass persuasion
This book neither pretends nor seeks to be a "definitive" investigation of the media of mass communication in the Soviet Union. The complexity of the Soviet communication system is such that a really exhaustive study of the techniques and institutions utilized for propaganda and agitation would have to be several times the length of the present work. At the same time, it should be recognized that this book is not an analysis of Soviet public opinion as such. It does not describe what the Soviet people think of the regime and the Communist Party, or about the United States, international relations, and the chances for peace. Although those questions are extremely important, the answers to them can be obtained only through direct contact with the Soviet people. Unfortunately, such contact is not now possible, nor is it likely to become more feasible in the immediate future, although research investigations among the numerous Soviet citizens who decided not to return home after the recent war may provide partial answers to many questions about the state of public opinion in the Soviet Union.
