The translated letter of repressed woman during the Soviet regime. I appreciate any corrections here A letter about the attitude towards Soviet regime written by N. D. Rogacheva to the city committee of All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks Perm city I appeal to you, the ones, who bear the regime in my precious, dear land, by the following reason – you made the existence unendurable for everyone! The whole Russia is moaning under the burden of Soviet regime. Moaning dispossessed kulaks sent to prisons and exiles, devastated, indigent and starving, bereaved of family olds, women and children! Moaning clergy, the grand devotees, who are tormented mentally and physically by you! Moaning women, children from whom you seized fathers and husbands with the help of your unscrupulous act of unimpeded divorces, which instead of perception of dept and conscience gave nothing but the freedom of fleshly lusts to which sacrificed the lives and happiness of wives and children. Moaning maidens from whom you seized chastity, feminine prudency, modesty and purity. At the age of 12-14 they are already the fallen women. The youngsters, the boys, whom you call miserable “hooligans”. Abusing, they desecrate their mouths with the nastiest words, they cover houses’ walls with the words, fences, doors, even on the snow are written these tremendous words. Moaning my precious, dear peasantry, our Russian folks. The poet Nekrasov said about them “Where you are there's moaning- O, my people! What can all this endless moaning mean?” But our persecuted people have never suffered as they suffer now. It is terribly! You hear this moan, but you have closed your eyes, plugged your ears. You, who was taking the rule in the name of good and truth to release from burden, to make the beautiful and free country without abased and oppressed people. Instead you have become inexpressible worse oppressor yourself. The power, which impudently robs and ravages even worse than true robbers! You turned people into animals, who wrapped up into no more than the concern about bread, about corporal food from morning till night, and even in the night standing in the lines; they are starving, frozen, tired and embittered. Day in day out. Although for the immortal, vivid human soul you gave none of mental food – nothing, but your lying newspapers with nasty, own-created words “burzhui” (“bourgeois” – translator's note) , “kulak”, “lishenets” (“disenfranchised” – t.n.), “beliy” (“white” – t.n.), “krasniy” (“red” – t.n.).
