Ding goes to Russia

Jay N. “Ding” Darling was a famed editorial cartoonist, who drew through two World Wars and the terms of eight Presidents during the first half of the 20th century. Skeptical of what he had read in the early years of the Russian revolution, he visited Russia in 1932 to “see for himself.” His insights into the results of the revolution and his accurate 1932 prediction of the eventual failure of that revolution are accompanied by numerous delightful sketches of life in Russia.
