Eternal Return

Today I was reading about Yezhov and about the soviet censorship that attempt to remove this man from history.
This is a funny example of "eternal return"...

Re: Eternal Return

I've seen those two images a few times, usually when I'm reading about the "purges". I think there's quite a few examples of people edited out of Stalin-era photos.

Re: Eternal Return

Yes the two photo i put on top are of soviet era censorship... the one i put on the bottom is modern era censorship.
Irony of the case.

Re: Eternal Return

I will look for the pics in the afternoon, but therwe are two famous ones:
1.Lenin giving a speech to the crowds. In original version there was Trotskiy standing below. On later (stalinist and post-stalinist period) version of this pic Lyova misteriously disappears...

2.A famous pictore where lenin sits relaxed in a garden accompanied by Stalin sitting in a bit bent forwards pose. From what I know, originally there was no Stalin in this fotograph - he was added later.

Re: Eternal Return

Those are the pictures. As I see, I didn't remember correctly, since not only Trotskiy but also Kamienev was removed.
As for the last picture - numerous sources state that it is a fake (inclouding a polish schoolbook published in 1989 ), but The original version of the picture is nowhere to be found. I am wondering wether there was somebody else in that seat or is it rather Lenin who was moved from a different picture?

Re: Eternal Return

Guys,

From memory, there is an excellent book on the topic called "The Commissar Vanishes"
