Item Summary

Photographs of the "bad old days," with oppressed workers and minorities, evil capitalists posing before safe deposit boxes. This is contrasted with those illustrating the new order: girls in their summer dresses reading Pushkin, a literate shepherd stretched out with a book, flocks in background. Collective farms, factories, lots of depictions of literacy.
