My statement to the effect that workers and peasants of Western Ukraine (Poland) do not want to join the Soviet Union, as it is now constituted, and that this fact is an additional argument in favor of an independent Ukraine, is parried by our sage with the assertion that even if they desired, they could not join the Soviet Union because they could do so only “after the proletarian revolution in Western Ukraine” (obviously Poland).
Afirma que, aunque lo desearan, no podrían unirse a la Unión Soviética porque sólo podrían hacerlo “después de la revolu ción proletaria en Ucrania occidental” (obviamente Polo nia).
