6 x 9 fotografia - Polish new photography magazine

First issue of a new Polish photography magazine, published
bi-monthly, in Polish, but with a 1-page English Summary. The
topic of this first issue is Russia. It confronts us with some
rather macabre photography. A portfolio on the 1922 famine in
the Ukraine, 1922, with indications of cannibalism; parts of a
secret(?) letter by Lenin on the use of this famine to destroy
the Russian Orthodox Church is included. Amateur photographs,
rescued by Polish survivors of a forced-labor camp in the mining
region of Siberia, describe another part of the social history
of Russia. Apart from this attention to the use of photographs
as historic documents, portfolios by Polish and Russian
photographers, documenting everyday life are published. As a
strange appendix, parts of the book ""A Day in the Life of the
Soviet Union"''by western photojournalists, is published.
