DESCRIPTION:Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\n\nPortrait of the Soviet Union\nPart 
 One, Mother Russia\n\nAccording to the LA Times (1988), "Portrait of the 
 Soviet Union" may be Ted Turner's “crowning achievement,” “a 
 seven-hour documentary of panoramic sweep,” surely “the most beautiful 
 and comprehensive cultural history of old Russia and the Soviet Union ever 
 to appear on American TV.” Unfortunately, the Times warns, “it also 
 projects a view through Red-colored glasses, one that maximizes Soviet 
 strengths and minimizes Soviet weaknesses, one that disappoints even as it 
 dazzles.” We will assume everyone has heard about the gulag and the 
 purges from their High School Civics Teachers, and proceed to take another 
 view. This is Part 1, we will schedule the rest when we have breaks in our 
 schedule.\n\nSun, April 23, 2017: 10:30am to 12:30pm\nNiebyl-Proctor 
 Marxist Library\n6501 Telegraph Avenue, Oakland (just North of Alcatraz 
 Ave.)\n\nFREE - but hat will be passed for donations to NPML\n\nAbout 
 Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\nA weekly discussion series inspired 
 by our respect for the work of Karl Marx and our belief that his work will 
 remain as important for the class struggles of the future as they have been 
 for the past. \n\nFor info or to subscribe to our weekly announcements,
