Communist Conference Congress Crew Delegation Moscow Petrograd Socialist Soviet Ussr

EDITORS COMMENTS
This rare and historical print captures the crew of the Echunca, a ship that carried a delegation to a conference in the Soviet Union in 1920. The members of this delegation are believed to be from the British Socialist Party, who attended the Congress in Moscow and Petrograd during July and August of that year. The image provides a glimpse into an important moment in history, as representatives from Great Britain traveled to the newly formed USSR to engage with their communist counterparts. The individuals in this photograph were part of a pivotal exchange between socialist movements, highlighting international solidarity and cooperation during a time of political upheaval. As they stand together on deck, one can only imagine the discussions and debates that took place among these delegates as they navigated through turbulent waters both literally and figuratively. Their presence on board the Echunca symbolizes a shared commitment to socialist ideals and unity across borders. This print serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of global movements for social change, shedding light on lesser-known aspects of British history. It is a testament to the bravery and dedication of those who sought to build bridges between nations during challenging times.
