The Russian famine of 1921-22, also known as the Povolzhye famine, began in the spring of 1921 and lasted through 1922. A result of the combined economic effects of the Russian Revolution and Russian Civil War, and made worse by inefficient food distribution, the famine killed an estimated 5 million people, primarily affecting the Volga and Ural River regions. The photographs here are apparently prints taken from other positives and not from the original negatives. (12) £700 - £1,000
