Russian social history at the start of the Cold War
John Steinbeck provides a very interesting snapshot of the lives of ordinary Russians, Ukrainians and Georgians in 1947, which includes detailed accounts of how they were rebuilding their lives after the Second World War.The text is complemented by Robert Capa’s excellent photographs and his ‘legitimate complaint’ in which he explains his frustrations with the Russian people as photographic subjects!An important account of the lives of ordinary Russians at the start of the Cold War.
