| Description Of Item | Clipped article [from the Observer] in a scrapbook from the collection of John Ritchie relating to an incident where eight members of the Communist Youth Movement (four men and women each) self-titled as ‘revolutionaries of naked culture’ demonstrated on the streets of Moscow dressed as Adam and Eve, with written permission granted by the Moscow Soviet (Mossoviet, or Moscow City Council). The Commissar for People’s Health, Nikolai Semaschko, however declared public nudity unhygienic. |
