The Russian Job

Award-winning historian Douglas Smith uncovers the little-known story of the American Relief Administration's humanitarian mission in the Soviet Union during 1921, a time marked by catastrophic famine. Invited by the fledgling Soviet government, this daring initiative fed over ten million people, representing the largest humanitarian effort in history. Despite its significance, this collaboration has largely been forgotten due to political shifts and anti-communism in America. "The Russian Job" brings to light a remarkable chapter of altruism amidst political intrigue and historical upheaval, presenting an inspiring narrative of cooperation during a critical moment in world history.
