While Ransome's support of the Soviet society is evident in
his critical but encouraging look at this new government struggling through a
civil war, what is not evident is that Arthur Ransome was a British Secret agent
working with MI6! (Biography)
Nevertheless, in some ways this only increases the historical value of this
work; being an apolitical individual in the search for information.
