This print captures a momentous occasion at the Jewish exemplary children's commune in Malakhovka near Moscow, during a general meeting in 1921-1922. The image showcases a group of young boys and girls, seated attentively as they participate in discussions and activities that shape their communal life. In the backdrop of this historical snapshot lies a significant chapter in Soviet history - the establishment of the Jewish Autonomous Region in the Far East, with Birobidzhan as its capital. This region was envisioned as a homeland for Jews by the Kremlin during the early Stalin era. The faces of these exemplary children reflect hope, determination, and resilience as they navigate through uncertain times. Among them stands writer Dobrushin, symbolizing intellectual curiosity and creativity within this vibrant community. As we delve into this black-and-white photograph from the 1920s, we are transported to an era marked by cultural diversity, religious heritage, and collective spirit. It serves as a poignant reminder of the rich tapestry of identities that make up our shared human experience.
