Important Russian/Soviet author and activist (1868–1936). Though his criticism of the Communist government led to a relationship marked by conflict and unease, he was ultimately embraced (though closely monitored) by the Stalinist regime, and Stalin himself was a pallbearer at Gorky’s funeral. AQS, in Russian, on an off-white 4 x 2.25 card. Gorky writes, in full: “With silver, iron is bought, with iron, Freedom.” Signed at the conclusion, “M. Gorki,” and signed again on the reverse, “M. Gorki.” In fine condition, with mild toning and a small pencil notation along bottom edge of reverse. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
