Surprisingly enough, the rest of the newspaper is amazingly business as usual, even though with high content of Stalin's legacy being fulfilled, the wisdom of his genius being published in various socialist countries, communists of the world meeting and planning bright peaceful future while the population of India suffers from police brutality, US trade unions are plotting subversive activities, and West Germany is huffing and puffing again trying to re-militarize and re-arm itself.
In very good condition. The paper is moderately age-toned and a bit brittle, showing a 2-inch-long separation along the fold line mid-page, as well as minor fraying at the edges. However, the graphics and text are perfectly legible, bright and crisp.
Please note that the pen in our photo is for size reference.
