The Russian Revolution and Civil War - as never seen before! Packed
with jaw-dropping, at times blood-curdling images, Russia Accursed!
showcases the reaction of Ivan Vladmirov (1869-1947) to the human
suffering and Bolshevik barbarity he observed as an artist-reporter
during the years 1917-25. Some of his paintings and watercolours
appeared in magazines and periodicals, including London weekly The
Graphic (Vladimirov's mother was English). But other scenes -
featuring point-blank executions, passers-by cutting chunks of meat
from a dead horse or dogs gnawing at a human corpse - were deemed
too shocking for publication and had to be secretly exported from
the USSR by American relief workers. Selected from private
collections, Russian museums and the Hoover Library at Stanford
University, California, most of the 160 Vladimirov images in this
majestic 324-page volume are published here for the first time.
Placed in their historic context by scholarly essays, contemporary
photographs and eye-witness quotes, they revolutionize our
understanding of the beginnings of the Soviet Union.
