Publisher's Synopsis
For a long time Tagore was craving to witness and experience Russia's socialist pattern of society. His long held desire was finally achieved when he was "privileged to witness" the country in 1930. Tagore's excitement about the visit, which he had described as a "pilgrimage," is evident in the letters he wrote from Russia, collected in Russiar Chithi (Letters from Russia). In the letters he had expressed how he was "totally surprised to observe the Russian achievements," and at the same time "overwhelmed to find what they have achieved during these thirteen years after their revolution."
