RUSSIA'S SECOND FRONT
By Leonard Engel
Russia's Red Army, now a principal in the greatest and most bitter struggle in military history, differs from every other Important army in modern Eu- rope in one vital respect at least. It's designed to fight on two fronts, only one of them military.
The other is against the slothfulness and backwardness that crippled the Czarist Russia overthrown by the weight of its own blunders and a hardy band of revolutionaries. In 24 years. more than 20,000,000 Russians have received military tra ning. They have also received inst. uc- tion in modernism and then purposely been sent out to carry moderism to the remotest cor- ners of the U.S.S.R.
