From Appendix 13: Biography of Lee Harvey Oswald:
Page 700

[Oswald] . . . soon after he returned to the United States, he hired a stenographer to prepare a typed draft from his notes.(614) Oswald described the manuscript, which amounted to 50 typed pages, as "a look into the lives of work-a-day average Russians."(615)

The manuscript describes the factory in which Oswald worked and suggests that political considerations of which Oswald disapproved dominated its operation. He attributed the lack of unemployment to the shortage of labor-saving machinery and the heavy load of bureaucracy, which kept "tons of paper work" flowing in and out of the factory and required a high foreman-worker ratio.(616) In addition, he wrote, there was "a small army of examiners, committees, and supply checkers and the quality-control board."

He described life in Russia, including life at the factory, as centered around the "Kollective." The head of the Kollective in his shop, Comrade Lebizen, saw to it that everyone maintained shop discipline, attended party meetings, and received all the new propaganda as it came out. He hung the walls of the shop with signs and slogans of the Communist Party. Meetings of the Kollective were "so numerous as to be staggering".
