As I heard yesterday from the small boy up to    the most senior citizen of your uh, community knows that nineteen se&#151; 1917,    October 1917, was the date of the great October Socialist Revolution.<\/p>\n<p><b>Congregation:<\/b> Cheers and applause<\/p>\n<p><b>Timofeyev:<\/b> (Voice builds throughout) It is for the first time in the    history of the mankind, working class peasants, intelligentsia, the soldiers,    under the guidance of Bolshevik &#151; or now is called Communist Party of the    Soviet L&#151; Union &#151;&nbsp;who have been founded by our dear Vladimir    Ilich Lenin, created the first socialist country in the world, and the new era    of the socialism started in October 1917.<\/p>\n<p><b>Congregation:<\/b> Applause<\/p>\n<p><b>Timofeyev:<\/b> (Voice builds throughout) I&#146;m sure you read through    the books, how difficult was this path for 61 years for us. We passed through    the first world war, uh, we call it civil war, we passed through the second    world war, and I heard yesterday that everybody knows here that struggling for    the socialism, defending the cause of peace and socialism. We lost 20 million    of our people, but we protect the whole world against fascism, against imperialism.<\/p>\n<p><b>Congregation:<\/b> Cheers and applause<\/p>\n<p><b>Timofeyev:<\/b> With our uh, glorious victory in the second world war &#151;    we called it great patriotic war &#151;&nbsp;the&#151; another stage of the    developing of the world community started. After the second world war, the people    of Europe, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Hungaria [Hungary], Romania, Yugoslavia,    (unintelligible name) and some other, started in the first time in the history    to build their own socialist community, and not only the Soviet Union, but another    fraternal socialist country became the power which defends not only themselves,    but defends the whole progressive mankind, defends the countries which develop    and which uh, pass from colonialism to independence, whose independence comes,    but imperialistic forces didn&#146;t want them to be independent&#151;<\/p>\n<p><b>One voice:<\/b> True.<\/p>\n<p><b>Timofeyev:<\/b> (Voice builds throughout) Superficially only they recognized    this independence, but economically, politically, they still tried to reinstate    them, to put uh&#151;&nbsp;to make them work under their instructions. And everybody    of you know that the Soviet Union, the socialist country of the Europe, of communist    Cuba, always support the struggle of the national liberation movement in Africa,    in Angola, Mozambique, in Ethiopia, and with&#151; and we will support the national    liberation movement in South Africa.<\/p>\n<p><b>Congregation:<\/b> Cheers and applause<\/p>\n<p><b>Timofeyev:<\/b> Well, as I mentioned, comrades, our lives&#151; our&#151;&nbsp;our    ways towards the country, as recall ourselves now, the country of developed    socialism was not very easy. But when we became the country of developed socialism,    from the very beginning, we knew that the working people all over the world    are in solidarity with the Soviet Union. The American workers in the 1917 [Revolution],    send the letters to Comrade Vladimir Ilich Lenin with a solidarity with our    revolution. And it was not only that. During the second world war, we know hundreds    and thousands and maybe millions of Americans who send their checks, who send    their warm clothes, who&#151;&nbsp;who have been with us during the most difficult    period, when the Nazi troops tried to capture the capital of the Soviet Union,    our dear Moscow, so I&#146;d like to thank comrades who stay here, who are the    socialist by their hearts, by their minds, that you also have the history, you    have the history of the socialist brother, which&#151; which shared the communist    conviction, and it started <i>not<\/i> today, and it started <i>together<\/i>    with our revolution. So on behalf of our embassy, thank you very much that you    are now the socialists and the communists.<\/p>\n<p><b>Congregation:<\/b> Applause<\/p>\n<p>(tape edit)<\/p>\n<p><b>Timofeyev:<\/b> Well, I have uh, maybe not much time to speak, uh, because    uh&#151; (Laughs) because, comrades, well, if we said any topic about the Soviet    Union, it may be interesting for you to know from myself, from our uh, comrade    Nikolai, our doctor who had been there, he make uh, a talk with the medical    staff of Peoples Temple, and they exchanged very important points of view about    the health program which you also have there&#151; here, but uh&#151; well,    maybe, I speak a couple of words about what we reach in the field of culture,    education, agriculture. Well, we&#146;re the country, and everybody knows of    you, with the one hundred and thirty different nationalities and national groups.    For us, it was not so easy to resolve the national question, because previously,    before the revolution, the tsar and&#151; well, he&#151; he was the head of    bourgeois, of imperialistic government, uh, he oppressed the minority who have    been lived in the borders of the Russia. We never had, uh&#151; Russia had never    been the colonial country as (unintelligible word). That&#146;s why we&#151;    uh, well, the Russia never brought to its country the slaves from the different    uh&#151; from a&#151;&nbsp;from other continents, like from Africa. We uh, didn&#146;t    have &#151; that&#146;s why &#151;&nbsp;uh, big, uh, African population in our    country. Some comrades in Guyana, when we organized the exhibition dedicated    to the sixtieth anniversary of Great October Revolution in Georgetown asked    me, &quot;Well, what I&#146;ve seen is really wonderful, you reached tremendous    successes in many fields, but why there is a discrimination of colored people    in the Soviet Union?&quot; Well, I answered him, uh, &quot;Dear Comrade, we    have 130 national and national groups, but because we&#146;ve never been the    colonial country, we have never brought colored &#151;&nbsp;so-called &#151;    people from abroad, and that&#146;s why, uh, there is no big community of uh,    people from Africa in our country.&quot; It&#146;s not our fault. Now we have    the young generation of Africans, of uh, our Soviet citizens who grow up in    the Africa of the socialism, some people from Africa and Latin America have    married the Soviet women and live in the Soviet Union. So they have the kids,    and that&#146;s our African and Soviet population, which have the equal rights,    privileges with the people of the Soviet Union. So, there is no national discrimination,    there is no <i>racial<\/i> discrimination in the Soviet Union. (Laughs)<\/p>\n<p><b>Congregation:<\/b> Applause<\/p>\n<p>(tape edit)<\/p>\n<p><b>Timofeyev:<\/b> So, as I continue, uh, we reached the stage when there is    no racial discrimination and besides of that, we develop the joint socialist    culture. This culture, um&#151; The composition of this culture made from the    cultures of <i>every<\/i> small group, we put all our forces to develop the national    languages, to develop national culture, different skills, and they made the    contribution to our <i>joint<\/i> con&#151; uh, to our joint culture, and to    call it the culture of the <i>socialism<\/i>, where every nationality, every    national group make the best to develop their ideas of the socialism, to ah,    develop ideas of the communism, and this is the base [basis] for our culture,    and uh, every nationality participated very active. (Pause) Touching uh, the    question that&#146;s very often been asked by me in the different auditorium,    but maybe everybody of you know, that uh, the Soviet Union, um, in the fields    of culture, make the tremendous progress. We have about 500 big uh, folklore    group. Everybody heard the name of the Bolshoi Theater. It&#146;s our ballet.    But it&#146;s only one from the 30 ballet theaters in the Soviet Union. We uh,    as I mentioned, have uh, many scientific (unintelligible word). It&#146;s uh,    also the part of our culture, the part of our educational system. Our opponents    in the United States of America imperialist fortress try to say that uh, the    Soviet Jewish [people] are discriminated [against]. <\/p>\n<p><b>One voice:<\/b> (unintelligible, expresses denial)<\/p>\n<p><b>Timofeyev:<\/b> I may tell, comrades, if it&#146;s a lie, I agree with your    comrades (unintelligible word)&#151;<\/p>\n<p><b>Congregation:<\/b> Applause<\/p>\n<p><b>Timofeyev:<\/b> There is no question of Soviet Jewish in the Soviet Union.    In the opposite. There is a question of discrimination of black, Jewish in the    United States of America.<\/p>\n<p><b>Congregation:<\/b> Stirs<\/p>\n<p><b>Timofeyev:<\/b> There is a question of discrimination of Jewish in their    political rights. I don&#146;t speak about the discrimination of different people    who are <i>not<\/i> so-called white in the United States of America, and one    who tried to say that we&#146;re discriminate somebody, should first of all    resolve its own problem, and in their own country.<\/p>\n<p><b>Congregation:<\/b> Cheers and applause<\/p>\n<p><b>Timofeyev:<\/b> When I mention that in the Soviet Union (coughs), there is    a big amount of scientists, just as example how that problem has been resolved.    Every sec&#151; every third person from the Jewish&#151; Soviet Jewish have    the highest education and is employed as a scientist, teacher, lawyer or doctor    by our country. In comparison with other nations, where there&#151;&nbsp;there    is maybe the percent of the science&#151; scien&#151; scientific personnel is    not so high. Among the Russians, it&#146;s every eight percent, (stumbles over    words) every eight persons is a scientist. Among the Jewish, it&#146;s every    third person is a scientist. So we give the Jewish people the equal rights,    but because they&#146;re smaller, and they want to know much more about the    socialism, and they train in the highest university, they have a higher percent    than they&#151;&nbsp;some other nations. It doesn&#146;t mean that (laughs)    uh, the Russians are discriminated [against] in the Soviet Union, but just as    example, I give this. (Pause)<\/p>\n<p><b>Congregation:<\/b> Light applause<\/p>\n<p><b>Timofeyev:<\/b> Well, comrades, of course, our cul&#151; culture is directly    connected with education. From the very beginning of our state, Vladimir Ilich    Lenin terl&#151;&nbsp;told&#151; speaking to the youth in the Third Congress    of the Communist League of the Soviet Union. Uh&#151; It was a very difficult    period. Our country had been destroyed by the foreign intervention in nineteen    uh, twenty-one it happened, by foreign intervention, by the local aggression    and the bourgeois forces tried to organize coups&#151; military coups in the    Soviet Union. They tried to assassinate Lenin, almost a couple months after    he speak [spoke]. But in this difficult epoch, Vladimir Ilich Lenin, when he    was addressed with the youth, he told, &quot;Comrades, your first task is to    study, study, and again, to study, how to build the socialism, how to build    the communism.&quot; So our young people, our old people, our middle generation,    our teenagers, everybody knows the importance of the knowledge. Because only    through the knowledge, through the understanding of the international processes,    through the understanding of theory of communism, of the Marxist-Leninist philosophy,    of political economy, and some other subjects, you can really became [become]    the communist, you can really build the society which is free of exploitation,    free of any form of racial or any other discrimination, because you should know    the theory, how to build. But not only know it, but implement practically and    daily in your life. And (sighs) I am very happy that I saw here in Jonestown    the full (Pause) uh, harmony of theory which have been created by [German socialist    Karl] Marx, [German socialist Friedrich] Engels, Lenin, and uh, the practical    implementation of this&#151; some fundamental features of this theory, under    the leadership or together with you, by Comrade Jim Jones, and I&#146;d like    to thank him for that.<\/p>\n<p><b>Congregation:<\/b> Cheers and applause<\/p>\n<p>(tape edit)<\/p>\n<p><b>Timofeyev:<\/b> Dear comrades, of course, in our society, in the Soviet Union,    we have not only the successes, frankly, as uh, we get used to speak between    the socialists, between communist to communist, I might tell you that we also    have some difficulties, problems we&#151;&nbsp;we should overcome, which we    <i>must<\/i> overcome. These problems exist in the different sphere. But the&#151;&nbsp;we    are not afraid of the problems, we are not afraid of the difficulties. We spoke    openly about them, because if we hide your difficulties, if you hide there&#146;s    something wrong in your society or in your community, it became worse. So we    criticize, through the party meetings, through the go&#151;&nbsp;gathering of    our people, we criticize some negative sides of our society. And believe me,    every day, every year, we grow up, we became stronger, we pass over our problems    and difficulties, and uh, we became stronger in the course of the socialism,    in the course of build[ing] the communist society in our country. (Pause) Well,    comrades, (Pause) (laughs) I may as I explain here, I might talk for a long    period of time (Laughs), but&#151;<\/p>\n<p><b>Congregation:<\/b> Laughter, then light applause<\/p>\n<p><b>Timofeyev:<\/b> But, uh, will you permit me, uh, to send a couple of words    in the end of my short, maybe not a brilliant speech, and I do not pretend to    be, but I&#146;d like to wish you, dear comrades, all the successes to your    great, to your very big work you&#146;re doing here.
