SOCIABILITY PLEA
i Stalin Heritage Deplored (NZ. Press Assn—Copyright) MOSCOW, December 27A plea for greater informality and sociability among Russians was published today in the Communist youth newspaper, “Komsomolskaya Pravda,” the “New York Times” news service reported. A Leningrad reader said Soviet citizens still bore the heritage of the Stalin era when people “forgot how to associate with strangers in public places and preferred to shut themselves up among their families.”
Those were the days, tiie reader said, when a good citizen was expected to spend afterwork hours in “raising his ideological and political level and his working skills” and other forms of leisure were regarded as “bourgeois prejudice.”
