Abstract: Russia is an object of both hatred and hope for the Chinese. Those who remember Russia's record of aggres sion regard the Russians as demons, but those who place hopes in the October revolution of 1917 regard Russia as if it were al ready a paradise. There is reason to believe that Mao's po lemics against the "revisionists" meet with greater welcome in Communist China than did his former policy of "leaning to one side." Russian literature should present a more profound picture of Russian life, but, if it has failed to do so in China, it is perhaps because its influence does not equal the strong nationalist or ideological prejudice.
