Overview

This brand new edition of David King's lauded visual history is a unique and brilliant study into the doctoring and propogandising of Soviet photographs by Stalin's regime. From the creator of the award-winning Red Star Over Russia.

The Commissar Vanishes offers a chilling look at how Joseph Stalin manipulated the science of photography to advance his own political career and to erase the memory of his victims.
