Description

The elite of Soviet arts and sciences protest the Vietnam War

TLS in French signed by Dmitri Shostakovich, Yuri Gagarin, Galina Ulanova, Nikolay Semyonov, Sergey Konenkov, and Sergei Gerasimov, two pages, 8.25 x 12, no date but circa 1965. Letter signed by the six members of the Soviet Peace Committee, in part (translated): “Aggression against the Vietnamese people who fight for freedom is an extremely serious threat to peace on Earth. American troops bombard the cities, they use toxic substances and napalm bombs, massacring the peaceful population, burning women, old men and intoxicating children. We have no right to remain passive in the face of such crimes." In very good to fine condition, with scattered creasing and toning along edges. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
