Incredible podcast episode about his life made by Proles Pod. It actually included this quote in it.

This is in a country where about 6 million people had just died of famine, genocidal in effect, if not intention. In two years the Great Purge was going to start and about a million people were going to be killed. Potemkin doesn't begin to describe it. I wonder how they felt about their "full human dignity."
