HC Deb 15 April 1920 vol 127 c1815
46. Mr. STANTON

asked the Prime Minister if he has seen the photographs brought to this country by British officers direct from Kharkoff, Odessa, Kherson, Kieff, Irkutsk, and Bikal districts of Russia, showing the atrocities, murders, and mutilations committed by the Red Guards of Soviet Russia; and, if so, whether he will consider the advisability of such photographs being shown upon the screens of every cinema in the country to grown-up people to show the horrors committed in the name of the Russian Soviets?

Mr. BONAR LAW

A number of such photographs has been received at the War Office, and are of a peculiarly revolting character. They are of such a nature that they would be quite unsuitable for exhibition in the illustrated press or on cinema screens.
