Summary
The first typescript, 'I Was Arrested in Russia', provides an account of Cornelia's trip to Leningrad with her husband for his work. They travel across Russia on the Trans-Siberian railway. She describes the people and the local buildings she sees. It also provides an account of her arrest by the secret police for illegally taking photographs in a former tsars' house. See her writings 'The G.P.U. in Action' and 'Arrested by the G.P.U.' (ref. MC 553, 12.10) for a similar account of events. The second typescript, 'Russia Revisited' (two versions), describes Cornelia's later visit to Russia in 1959. Her aim was to witness the changes that had occurred since 1936. Comments are made on the clothing women wear and the work they do, the street conditions and new buildings, such as a new stadium.
