Tintin in the Land of the Soviets

"Tintin in the Land of the Soviets" is the first comic book in the Tintin series by Hergé, created in 1930. It follows young reporter Tintin as he travels to Soviet Russia, exploring a fictionalized and satirical portrayal of the USSR. The story reflects initial European perceptions of communism, blending adventure with political commentary. While it offers a glimpse into early 20th-century attitudes and Hergé's developing artistic style, it also contains stereotypes and inaccuracies. The comic is historically significant as a brief, illustrative piece of its era, but today it is viewed with a critical understanding of its context and limitations.
