(XPERT ON RUSSIA NOUS Lack of Concern for Common Man mat kind of place to live in is Russia? What makes the "wheels go around" there, anyway A Harvard sociologist who has rubbed elbows with more than 2,000 Russian displaced persons cleared away a lot of the fog sur rounding these two questions in two Tuesday appearances at the University of Oregon. He was Alex Inkeles, from the Russian Research Center at Har vard. The center is a Carnegie Vrttinriatinn-snnnsorcd body whose aim, Inkeles explained, .is to add some flesh and Diooa 10 wnav i already known about the skeleton of life within the Soviet Union. INKELES SPOKE formally to a 1 p.m. assembly in the Erb Me morial Union and then Tuesday night spent two hours answering questions fired at him in a public "bull session" in the School of Journalism. In a refugee interview project, researchers found six main char acteristics of the Soviet regime, Inkeles said. And above them all was the absence in Russia of con cern for "the common man," he added. The six characteristics were: Placing abstract social and national goals above considera tions of human welfare. A peculiar conception about the psychology ot man, which holds on one hand that he needs force and guidance from without in order to accomplish anything, but which also maintains that he is capable of sudden outbursts of activity which must be stemmed by constant restraint and super vision. A demand for constant sacri fice with only the most meager rewards to the average citizen. The "frightful toll" which the regime exacts for '.failure to meet responsibilities over which the individual often has no con trol. In this connection, Inkeles told of the Soviet practice of fin ing workers up to one-quarter of their pav for as long as six montns if they are late for work. Even if a streetcar breakdown is tne cause, the worker is not excused, he said, because in Russia a person should assume that the streetcar will likely break down and should leave in time to get to work on time if it does. The confusion of the origins of people with their past behavior. The attachment of political meaning to all acts. Who were the people from whom this picture of the Soviet regime was drawn? They came, Inkeles explained, from among the 290,000 or so Rus sians who refused to return to their homeland after World War II. There were also some "post- War defectors" among those Inter viewed, he said, most of whom crossed over from Russian occupa tion zones. Questioning the displaced per sons turned up some interesting and amusing answers, according to Inkeles. He told of one peasant woman working on a question naire consisting of parts of sen tences which she was supposed to complete. To one which began "When it rains," she wrote: ' "When it rains, the secret police arrest people the same as on days when the sun shines." The persons who were inter viewed were not by any means only "hangovers" from the Czarist days nor are they all disgruntled and unsuccessful, Inkeles said. Qn the contrary, they were "very av erage in terms of personality" and, : on the whole, were "making a go of it" in Soviet society. Many would have stayed and worked if the government hadn't1 "hounded them from place to place and from job to job," Inkeles continued. Others are still devoted to the idea that only a big stick" policy will work in Russia, but they left when the stick was used on them. There are some who felt they couldn't be worse off no matter what they did, and there is a small minority of "true ideological defectors" who left Russia when they ob jected to the government's policies on purely moral grounds. IN THE EVENING question and answer period, Inkeles said that there was "relatively mild antici pation of a state of war" develop ing soon. Nor is there "strong hostility" on the part of the Rus sian man in the street for the United States, although the regime is doing its best to instill one, he asserted. Inkeles was questioned closely about the amount of dissatisfac tion within Russia and what chances, if any there are that it IwnulH pfiint in onen rebellion. In answering, he distinguished three stages of unrest. First, he said, is dissatisfaction "the kind of feeling we have around income tax time." The next stage is dis affection, when one no longer feels any tics binding him to his government, and lastly is defec tion, the decision openly to break away. While there is a lot of the first variety dissatisfaction in Russia and quite a bit of disaffec tion, the interviews indicated that there is almost no chance that a successful revolution could be waged In the USSR, he stated. ASKED ABOUT a statement! made here by Paul G. Hoffman, former head of ECA who spoke on i behalf of General Eisenhower, that the general's name was a "household word" in Russia, Inkeles said, "This is new to me." If anyone's name is a "house hold word" in Russia, it is prob ably Henry Ford's, he said. The names of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, which be came well-known during the war, are also recognized by many Rus sians. But others are few, he asserted.
