EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in the 1950s when two young Uzbek women are engrossed in reading the first volume of Stalin's collected works. The image offers a glimpse into a time when communism was deeply rooted in Uzbekistan, and young people eagerly sought knowledge about their leader. The expressions on the faces of these women reveal their intense focus and concentration as they delve into the pages of this historical text. It is evident that they are taking their reading seriously, perhaps seeking to gain a deeper understanding of Stalin's ideology and its impact on their country. The scene depicted in this photograph speaks volumes about the thirst for knowledge among young Uzbeks during this era. Despite living under a regime that controlled information and restricted freedom of speech, these girls are determined to educate themselves by studying the words of one of history's most controversial figures. As we reflect on this image, we are reminded of the power that books hold to shape minds and influence beliefs. These young Uzbeks represent a generation eager to learn from their past and navigate through complex political landscapes. Their dedication to reading about Stalin serves as a poignant reminder of how history continues to inform our present-day perspectives.
