English text
We must finish once and for all with the neutrality of chess. We must condemn once and for all the formula "chess for the sake of chess," like the formula "art for art's sake." We must organize shock-brigades of chess-players, and begin the immediate realization of a Five-Year Plan for chess. -- Nikolai V. Krylenko, People's Commissar for Justice (of RFSFR, later of USSR), speaking at a 1932 Congress of Chess Players, as quoted in Boris Souvarine's "Stalin," published London, 1939
