Joseph Douillet (1878–1954)〔Wym Coudenys, '(Russian Collaboration in Belgium During World War II: The Case of Jurij L. Voycehovshij ),' (Limited access) ''Cahiers du Monde Russe'', April–September, 2002, Vol. 43, No. 2/3, p. 485.〕 was a Belgian diplomat to the Soviet Union, known as the author of ''Moscou sans Voiles: Neuf ans de travail au pays des Soviets'' (''Moscow Unmasked: A Record of Nine Years Work in Soviet Russia'') published in 1928. The work heavily criticized Soviet Communism and formed a major influence on Hergé's cartoon book ''Tintin in the Land of the Soviets''. ==Career and writings== Douillet lived in Russia from 1891 to 1926.〔(Phillippe Granarolo, XII - Hommage aux hommes lucides qui ont su résister au térrorisme intellectuel : Joseph Douillet ). ((translation )).〕 He served as the Belgian consul in Rostov-on-Don. It has been said that he "had spent so long in the country that he was almost more Russian than Belgian."〔Anthony Daniels, 'The Cost of Abstraction,' ''The New Criterion'', Vol. 28, November, 2009.〕 In 1925 he was arrested in the USSR and was imprisoned for nine months before being expelled from the country.〔"En 1925, toutefois, il avait été arrêté, puis expulsé d'URSS après neuf mois d'emprisonnement." (Phillippe Granarolo, XII - Hommage aux hommes lucides qui ont su résister au térrorisme intellectuel : Joseph Douillet ). ((translation )).〕 In 1928 he published a book ''Moscou sans Voiles: Neuf ans de travail au pays des Soviets'', which condemned the Bolshevik regime. Among the charges recorded in the book are that the Soviet government created false factories to deceive foreign visitors.〔(Phillippe Granarolo, XII - Hommage aux hommes lucides qui ont su résister au térrorisme intellectuel : Joseph Douillet ). ((translation )).〕 "The first part of Douillet's book was called: 'How the red paradise is portrayed', and is full of examples of how foreign visitors are deceived."〔(International Institute of Social History ).〕 Another part of the book recorded how one Oebijkon coerced people into assenting for Communist rule during an election. "We see the communist comrade Oebijkon (who is resigning from the presidency) delivering a speech. This is what he says: 'We have three lists: one of these comes from the communist party. Let anyone who is against this list raise their hand!' At the same moment Oebijkon and four of his comrades pull their revolvers and direct them menacingly at the peasant audience. Oebijkon continued: 'Who votes against this list? No one? Then I declare that anyone voted for the communist list. There is no need to vote for the other two lists anymore.'"〔Elsje de Ruijter, '(Ideology ),' 2007.〕 This episode would later be used in ''Tintin in the Land of the Soviets''. Another charge made was that the USSR presented a deceptive perspective of the state of the USSR to foreign visitors: It was translated into English by Albert William King and published by The Pilot Press (London) in 1930.〔(Moscow Unmasked: A Record of Nine Years' Work and Observation in Soviet Russia ) at the Open Library.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joseph Douillet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
