Intourist is a WAS[edit]

WAS is the most important word (still) lacking in the first paragraph. Nuts240 (talk) 20:36, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Failed 2022 attempts to machine translate Russian Wiki article[edit]

Attempts to use both the Wiki translation tool and GoogleTranslate were unsuccessful when attempted 9Nov2022, so this suggestion is transplanted from the Main article Intourist to here, until it is appliable/doable. Expanded it reads:

Economic crime via competition[edit]

Re Intourist and the Competition section: In the USSR, competing, an economic crime (due to "disrupting the planned economy"), was a capital offense (https://www.nytimes.com/1964/04/05/archives/krokodil-comments-on-economic-crime-russia-has-socialist-crime-too.html and other NYTimes), and looking out how the Times periodically chose headlines with the word competition shows that saying "the Soviet Union was not enamored of competition" is an understatement. The article doesn't have too many citations about this matter since Intourist probably should not resemble an expose about FSU, the Former Soviet Union, but this 1964 NYTimes notes that "60 per cent of the 160 persons executed for economic crimes since 1961 were Jews."
