[Rarebooks] FS: 1922 London Cunard Anchor Lines Soviet Russia Ukraine Emigration Travel Brochure

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

TITLE: 1922 London Cunard / Anchor / Anchor Donaldson Ship Lines Soviet 
Russia Ukraine Travel Emigration Brochure.

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, 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
