Show DEPORTED REDS REACH RUSSIA Goldman, Berkman and Companions Given Cordial Welcome. Terijoki, Russia. Undesirable aliens headed by Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman, deported from the United States, entered soviet Russia at 2 p. m. Monday, January 19. They received an enthusiastic welcome. The deportees, laden with baggage, trudged through deep snow laughing and singing revolutionary songs. Cheers were raised by the Russians waiting on the other side of the frozen Systerbak river, which separates the Finish and Bolsheviki lines. Willing hands helped them scramble up the steep banks amid ruins of the war-wrecked town of Bielo-Ostrov. The Bolsheviki gave the exiles a vociferous voci-ferous greeting that stirred up a frenzy of enthusiasm and delight among the newcomers. |
