Essay / Research Paper Abstract
4 pages in length. Leaving America for the very same reason others seek out its open-armed borders, John Scott removed himself from the comfort and safety of the United States and sought to find what he thought would be a more suitable life for himself. Little did he know when he chose Russia – more particularly Magnitogorsk in the Ural Mountains – that he had literally thrust himself into a time warp of how America had been tens of decades ago prior to any union implementation or basic humane approach to the value of life. What Scott ultimately gained throughout his journey to find himself outside the protected perimeters of the United States was a wakeup call that completely reversed his opinion about how "sadly dislocated" (p. 3) America had become and unappealing to a university graduate with "young energy and enthusiasm" (p. 3) during the Depression. No additional sources cited.

"sadly dislocated" (p. 3) America had become and unappealing to a university graduate with "young energy and enthusiasm" (p. 3) during the Depression. His newly focused reality as a
welder for six years in Stalins Russia was that of brutal working conditions and a complete lack of regard for human life; only because of the purges was he involuntarily
ousted from his job. "I was smitten with wanderlust. The United States did not seem adequate...Something seemed to be wrong with America. I began to read extensively
about the Soviet Union, and gradually came to the conclusion that the Bolsheviks had found answers to at least some of the questions Americans were asking each other. I
decided to go to Russia to work, study, and to lend a hand in the construction of a society which seemed to be at least one step ahead of the
American" (Scott, 1989, p. 3). Scotts (1989) descriptions of on-the-job occurrences are nothing if not deplorable, even by Russian standards, with wholly inferior operational training and/or safety equipment accounting
for myriad injuries; coupled with vaguely nutritious lunches of bread, broth and occasional meat after having no breakfast, being forced to rise before dawn and work in bitter cold, Scott
