,,... Германский фашизм драпирующийся в тогу защитника арийской расы, повидимому, не испытывает никакой совестливости от того,
что ему приходится вести в бой против арийского испанского народа не аийских мавров…“ (Аплодисменты, смех, оживление в зале).
(Из выступления М. М. Литвинова на VIII Чрезвычайном съезде Советов).
Image Text Translation:
“… German fascism, draped in the toga of the defender of the Aryan race, does not apparently feel any qualms of conscience
when bringing non-Aryan Moors to fight against the Aryan people of Spain…” (Audience applauds and laughs).
(M. M. Litvinov, Speech delivered at the Eighth Extraordinary Congress of Soviets)
A deliberate play on the fascist conception of Aryan racial superiority, this cartoon shows a military officer embracing a
thuggish Moroccan soldier. Money has been stuffed into the back pocket of the Moroccan soldier to suggest his reasons for
fighting as part of the Army of Africa. The quote was taken from the speech presented by Soviet Commissar of Foreign Affairs
Maxim Litvinov to the delegates at the 1936 gathering of the formal governing body of the Soviet Union.
