Coles New-Russia: Images from a Journey at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
It was the autumn of 1926 when Israel Joshua Singer, at the invitation of the editor of the New York Yiddish daily Forverts, traveled to the Soviet Union for a reportage that would take him several months. “These images and impressions are written in a moment, as is always the case with travelers,” he would comment on his work, which nevertheless constitutes an exceptional, and in many ways unique, testimony.
I.J. Singer, who had already observed the Soviet country in depth at the height of the revolutionary storm, not only now shows us a drastically changed landscape, but also captures, with a penetrating eye, the seeds of what would become the distinctive traits of the Stalinist regime: the prevailing bureaucracy, the pervasiveness of the police apparatus, the increasingly superficial communist ideals, the resurgence of antisemitic sentiment.
