EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported back to a significant moment in history - the Metro-Vickers Show Trials of April 12-19,1933. The image features two prominent journalists, William Strang and A. J. Cummings, who were present at these trials that shook Russia and reverberated across the world. The photograph captures the intensity of the atmosphere surrounding this trial, as both men appear focused and determined. As journalists covering espionage and industry-related issues in the Soviet Union during that time, their presence at such a high-profile event underscores its significance. The Metro-Vickers Show Trials were part of a series known as the Purge Trials or Great Terror that aimed to eliminate perceived threats to Joseph Stalin's regime. These trials targeted engineers accused of sabotage within Metropolitan Vickers, an influential British engineering company operating in Russia. This powerful image not only documents an important historical event but also symbolizes the struggle for truth amidst political turmoil. It serves as a reminder of how journalism can play a crucial role in uncovering injustice and shedding light on dark chapters in our collective past. As we gaze upon this print today, it is impossible not to be moved by Strang and Cummings' unwavering dedication to reporting facts during one of history's most tumultuous periods – an enduring testament to their bravery and commitment to journalistic integrity.
