The Yevsektzia, the Jewish section of the Communist party in Soviet Russia, has started a campaign to honor the memory of Peter Voykov, the Soviet envoy who was slain in Warsaw by a Russian youth.
The Yevsektzia urged the Jewish population to contribute toward a fund for the construction of airplanes bearing Voykov’s name. Many agreed to contribute one day’s wages to the fund.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
