To George Bernard Shaw, famed sophisticate, from Grigori Zinoviev, Chief of the Third Internationale, went an answer to the former's sneering criticism of the Bolshevik regime. Said M. Zinoviev: "Shaw, flower of the petty bourgeoisie, considers himself above Karl Marx. But if we compare both, Shaw appears as a scarcely visible dust speck.

"Shaw and Wells (who does not like Karl Marx's beard) think we made an idol of Marx. They forget that the teachings of Marx have conquered a sixth part of the world, and disregard the probability that the masses will eventually take over world power, cutting off many ruling heads.

"I hope Shaw will live long enough to see the new epoch.

"Shaw ridicules the Third Internationale, disregarding historic processes. In this respect, the dramatist is as dull as Lord Curzon. Like other petty bourgeoisie, the Socialist Shaw favors Marxism in Russia but not in England, thereby proving ignorance of the power of Marxism."
