<blockquote>Our newspapers are filled with reports on production victories which are a big bore to everyone, but you will find no reports of trials or crime in them.  ()After all, according to the Progressive Doctrine, criminal activity arises only from the presence of classes; we have no classes in our country, therefore there is no crime and therefore you cannot write about it in the press!  We simply cannot afford to give the American newspapers evidence that we have not falled behind the United States in criminal activity!)</blockquote>

::And from here, he goes on to talk about murderers in the west with their photographs plastered on the wall.  This is page 432.  Hardly anything to do with people like Woodrow Wilson or Saul Alinsky.  One important part of this section is about the Russian ''Druzhina''(vigilantes) and how the state employed them together with the media to keep people in line.[[User:Progressingamerica|Progressingamerica]] ([[User talk:Progressingamerica|talk]]) 18:51, 17 September 2019 (EDT)

:::The quote you give speaks exactly about American Progressivism: censorship, alliance with criminals, etc.  Bernie Sanders, and others are running right now wanting to give imprisoned criminals the vote.

:::Another thing about that quote: Solzhenitsyn refers, as he does throughout the book, to competition Soviet Progressivism had with U.S. progressives even prior to WWII; they were trying to "out-progressive" the progressive U.S..  During the Cold War, the Soviets were the first to put a woman in space in 1961, at a time the U.S. never heard of feminism or the women's rights movement.
