American visitors to USSR, 1930s, 40s and 50s

[Romy Taylor]

I think this a reference to an interview with James Patterson and his mother
in "Poka vse doma," June 14 1998.  James' father, Lloyd Patterson, came to
Russia in 1932 for the "Black and White" film project.  James' grandmother,
Margaret Glescoe, lived in the USSR briefly 1936-7 and published her
autobiography there in Russian, _Dvoinoe iarmo_, before returning to the US.
_Dvoinoe iarmo_ also describes Russians' reactions to (Black) Americans.

Yours

Also, I remember a (fairly recent) TV documentary about the woman-artist,
the mother of the black boy who was filmed in the "Circus"; she got married
to his father in the 1930-s when he was (probably, a marine guard) at the
American Embassy in Moscow. She spoke about the man highly in that
documentary.
