A propaganda poster of ARA in Russia. The government tried to depreciate the help of ARA and steal thunder, they didn’t prevent the rumours that Americans allegedly sold products triple the price to the country. Mass media often dissembled the true scale of help from ARA. Such posters hung on the trains and in the ARA canteens but they were often concealed.
ARA在苏联的一个宣传海报。苏联政府试图贬低ARA的帮助,并偷偷的恐吓ARA,而且他们并没有阻止关于美国人涉嫌以产品三倍价格出售的传言。大众媒体经常谎报ARA所给予帮助的真实程度。这样的海报被挂在火车上或者ARA的食堂,但它们通常被藏起来。
ARA open canteen in Moscow. The Soviet government didn’t like such type of canteen - they had to pay to service personnel, American aid was in the public eye. They preferred closed institutions under their own control.
ARA在莫斯科开办餐厅。苏联政府不喜欢这种类型的餐厅——因为他们必须给服务人员发工资,然而,美国的援助依然广为人知。苏联政府偏爱在其掌控制下关掉的机构。
James Goodrich - former governor of Indiana state. Under his initiative the US Congress devoted extra 20 million dollars for food to the starving in Russia. The US Government didn’t support the Bolshevist system, and it was hard to convince the lawmakers that they had to help the starving, not Bolsheviks. Among other products this 20 millions dollars were spent for corn that saved the harvest in 1922.
