Russian writers and the Volga famine of 1921

[Giuliano Vivaldi]

Dear Robert,

The Mezhrabpom (Workers International Relief) set up as a response to 
the Volga famine was, of course, to play a big part in the cinematic 
history of 1920s and 1930s Soviet Union. A wikipedia link talks about 
the following list of writers and artists who supported WIR: Martin 
Andersen Nexo, Henri Barbusse, Maxim Gorky, George Grosz, Maximilian 
Harden, Arthur Holit, Kathe Kollowitz, George Bernard Shaw Upton 
Sinclair and Ernst Toller.

I believe 
that Jamie Miller is writing about the Mezhrabpom Studio in terms of its
 political (rather than specifically cinematographic) role and may be 
worth contacting regarding the international response to the famine 
(even though he probably concentrates his research more on the period 
after the foundation of the Mezhrabpom studios).
