The work by John Steinbeck and Robert Capa in the Soviet Union in 1947 is considered the first “free” report on the USSR, although the reporters were not allowed to travel around freely. Capa had no option but to develop his films there, through the government, and the Soviet services censored around one hundred of his photographs. The report was widely published in different newspapers of the day and gave rise to a book. After the publication, the Soviets described the authors as “hyenas” and “gangsters”, while the American right-wing press viewed the book as a defence of Stalin’s USSR. Although not Capa’s finest report, it contains moving images of the city of Stalingrad destroyed by the war, and this one of a policewoman in Kyiv.
