| Description | Cartoon shows an elderly couple sitting at a table, labeled "Estonian Food Production," with an enormous Russian soldier who is gobbling down all the food. After Estonia was incorporated into the Soviet Union at the close of World War II, many Russians were resettled in the largely agricultural country to provide the manpower necessary for industrialization. By 1979, the population was almost 25% Russian. Valtman's caption alludes to the popular play by George S. Kaufman about an unpleasant dinner guest who stayed on, completely disrupting an entire household. |
