good intro article on early Soviet race attitudes?

[evprok at WM.EDU]

Anne,

hopefully you can convince your publishers that to provide a commentary on early Soviet race attitudes for a trickster novel like _12 Chairs_ is rather absurd.  Why not then re-edit _Borat_ with a split screen and intertitles, addressing all the taboos that he breaks?

If readers have questions they can look for sources.
