The Russian famine of 1921-22 was so bad that widespread reports cannibalism were reported, especially in Samara where this powerful photograph was taken. Here, Russians parade through the streets with the bodies of two small children on stretchers, the latest victims of famine. A stunning image in great shape that is likely unique and being offered here for the first time ever.
