1922 Cunard / Anchor / Anchor Donaldson Lines Soviet Russia Ukraine 
Travel Emigration Brochure.

London, May or early June, 1922.

DISCUSSION:  A brochure issued in 1922 by Cunard, Anchor Line and 
Anchor-Donaldson Line explaining how friends and relatives can get out 
of Russia and Ukraine legally. "The heavy demand for correct information 
regarding the situation in Russia today, and the facilities existing for 
bringing people out of Russia to their relatives in this country, has 
prompted the Cunard and Anchor Lines to issue this folder, as they feel 
that it will answer the questions in the minds of many persons in the 
United States and Canada who have families and relatives in Soviet 
Russia. Much inaccurate and misleading information has been spread 
regarding Russia, and the arrangements for travel from that country. The 
actual situation there is that there are now many routes open to 
passengers coming from Russia, and that the Soviet Government is not 
discouraging the emigration of such classes of passengers as are 
eligible for admission to this country... The conditions of travel on 
the Russian railroads has improved considerably during the last few 
months... The Cunard and Anchor Lines are not only prepared to issue 
tickets for transportation out of Russia, but what is even more 
important, they are able and willing to transmit money to practically 
any part of Russia... Because of the complete Cunard and Anchor Line 
organization of official offices in Europe, passengers traveling on 
Cunard Anchor line prepaid tickets enjoy unusual benefits. Conductors 
who are salaried officials of the company, travel on trains with them to 
the embarkation port, seeing that they have no trouble with their 
baggage or other regulations. Every care at the various frontiers 
renders the journey simple and easy for the passengers. The passage 
across the Atlantic Ocean is provided on the fastest steamers in the 
world including the great Berengaria, Aquitania, [and] Mauretania."

Includes a 2-page colored map. 1922 was a tumultuous year in the Soviet 
Union- as the Revolution and Civil War sputtered to an end, on April 3rd 
the Eleventh Communist Party Congress appointed Josef Stalin as the 
first General Secretary of the Communist Party.
