Exactly!
Fascinating historical documents. The Livadia ones show Livadia Palace, where the Yalta Conference was held in 1945. Are the dispossessed people in Ukraine in 1929 dispossessed because they are a kulak family? They don’t look remotely well off.
Surely “peasants” at Livadia don’t look like the peasants
Wonder how many of these people made it to 1950.
Long live the NEP!!! (read about it, Comrades!)
