斯大林下令处决了他，但在这里 Peter Palchinsky 拥有最终的话语权。Palchinsky 的幽灵宛如从不安的坟墓中走出，带领我们穿过苏联科技与工业的重重迷瘴，指出他在当时谴责的错误、预言的腐败与崩溃，以及为压制敢于直言之人所付出的惨痛代价。正如 Loren Graham 所叙述的，这位富有远见的工程师的生平与事业，也是苏联工业的希望与幻灭的写照。我们在革命前的俄国遇见 Palchinsky，目睹他投身于反对……

They shrink the world. The Ghost of the Executed Engineer" by Loren Graham About how Soviet era projects thought they could throw pure labor at massive scale engineering problems to overcome any problem, to their detriment.
