    • Abstract:
      This article focuses on the book "Moscow Skies," by Maurice Hindus. The author is well known for his articles, his travel books, his lectures on the new Russia. It should not surprise readers that in his first novel he has chosen Soviet Moscow as the locale, or that Bernard Blackman, a U.S. journalist, is the hero. Further preparation for what the book contains is written in a brief foreword. Hindus confesses that the setting of this novel is the critical period of 1929 to 1930, which followed the NEP.
