Very fine and fascinating copy of No.13 Parliamentary 'Interim Report of
the Committee to Collect Information on Russia', published by H.M.
Stationery Office in 1920. It was set up to investigate the internal
conditions in Russia following the Russian Revolution. In the report the
emphasis is on the lack of food and starvation levels since Bolshevik
takeover. In particular the Soviets come under fire for the arrest of
British subjects, some of whom had been arrested in Siberia having been
engineers for Kolchak's railways.Conditions in prisons is reported by
British volunteers who had gone out on charitable missions to help.
There are accounts of the tragic conditions of these prisons and the
state of mental health as a result of imprisonment in such awful
conditions. An Appendix at the end is the translation of the 'Bulletin
of Workers' & Peasants' Control' from April 1920 regarding the
investigation it made into all prisons and the number of inmates and
prison time. 23 pages.
