Sivu 9 - KHROUSCHOV : Cut forests, when it is a matter of urgency, you may, but it is time to stop destroying them. Every Russian forest is cracking under the axe, millions of trees are perishing, the abodes of beasts and birds are being ravaged, rivers are becoming shallow and drying up, wonderful landscapes are disappearing without leaving a trace; and all this because lazy man has not got the sense to stoop to pick up fuel from the ground.

Sivu 38 - no previous government in history was so openly and energetically in favor of science
Sivu viii - In what will be a surprise to many, through the early 1930s the Soviet Union was on the cutting edge of conservation theory and practice.
