Lost Illusion
Freda Utley's ‘Lost Illusion’ is at one and the same time tragically interesting as a personal story and profoundly instructive as to the intimate character of life under the Soviet Government. I do not see how any reader can fail to be impressed by the author's crystal sincerity and by her profound sympathy with human suffering. Very few English people have had her opportunities of seeing life in Moscow as it is for Russians, and not for tourists.
