An account, in the form of diary excerpts, describing Born's trip to the Soviet Union in 1945. The trip began in London with a flight to Moscow where Born meets Edward Neville da Costa Andrade, Hal Anger, Vladimir A. Fok, Victor Frenkel, Julian Huxley, Abram F. Joffe, Irene and Frederick Joliot-Curie, Peter and Anna Kapitza, Theodore von Kármán, Grigorii S. Landsberg, Irving Langmuir, Duncan A. MacInnes, Serge Prokofiev, Jean Perrin, Meghnad M. Saha, Harold Spencer-Jones, and Igor Tamm. The diary is full of close observations of day-to-day life in war-time Russia, and chronicles in detail Born's activities and meetings with other scientists and Soviet officials. Includes an extract from a letter to "Gustav" discussing Born's impressions of Soviet communism.
