The Lost Archive of Major Martin J. Manhoff.
In 2016, Douglas Smith found a pile of cardboard boxes in an empty house outside Seattle. The house was being cleared out in preparation for sale and the boxes were about to go into a dumpster. Inside the boxes Smith found a collection of slide photographs and 16mm films. Holding the slides up to the light, he realized he had stumbled upon a remarkable find—thousands of photographs taken throughout the Soviet Union in the twilight years of Stalin’s reign, and nearly all of them in brilliant color.
