Lipinsky’s socialism
Sir,—l am quite ready to agree with K. Fea that age is not often given. its due in Western society, but am unimpressed by the assertion that the Soviet Union needs the experience of a bunch of men in their late sixties and seventies to lead their country.
Where is the new blood, the new ideas, or is that thought anathema to them? Is there anyone at all on the Politburo ■n his fifties? Leonid Brezhnev s a very shrewd politician, veil aware of the abrupt nanner in which his predecessor left office. Like our own, Prime Minister, he has protected his power base by surrounding himself with trusty stalwarts. I suggest this is a somewhat more realistic assessment than the rosy view of a group of “venerable” greybeards leading the Soviet Union into the eighties. — Yours, etc.; ALLAN REYNOLDS. June 1, 1981.
