Collection of Photographs of Anti-American Imperialist Chinese Student Demonstrations in USSR.
Beijing? No publication details. (Circa 1965). Stock ID #217848 This collection of 20 black and white photographs shows a Chinese and international student demonstration against American imperialist aggression in Vietnam that took place in front of the American Embassy in Moscow in 1965. Photos 1-13 show an initially peaceful demonstration by Chinese and international students that turned ugly after Soviet troops, cavalry, vehicle-mounted guns, and water sprayers were sent in, with Russian generals personally taking charge. The chaos can be clearly felt in some of the blurred images where students were being beaten up and arrested. Photograph 14 shows an injured student, Huang Zhaogeng, being taken off a plane in Beijing on a stretcher. The photographs numbered 15 - 20 show demonstrations in Beijing in support of injured Chinese student demonstrators, two leaders making speeches, and medical care and support from friends. Text on the banners in photographs in Chinese and Russian. When referring to this item please quote stockid 217848.
