Tinted glass slides produced by the Victor Animatograph Company, Davenport, Iowa, USA. They show famine victims, mostly children, suffering from severe malnutrition. As the lantern slides are in the same format as those used for Russia's laboursLink opens in a new window and Russia's struggleLink opens in a new window, they were presumably purchased at the same time, but were not selected for use in talks intended to promote the new Soviet system.

Reproduction for any purpose (publication, exhibition, web display, commercial use, etc.) is only permissible with the consent of the Modern Records Centre. Please contact us for more information.
