This rail project is one of many Soviet failures that Eugene Lyons discusses in his book Workers' Paradise Lost: Fifty Years of Soviet Communism. A Balancesheet (New York: Funk & Wagnalls, 1967), a book that came out at the time of the fiftieth anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution. Lyons' verdict on the Communist era in Russia--never had so many sacrificed so much for so little.
