[History & Science] Gorky, Maxim. (1868–1936) & Chaliapin, Feodor. (1873–1938). Autograph Quotation - “With silver, iron is bought, with iron, Freedom”.

Powerful autograph quotation from the important Russian/Soviet author and activist. Though his criticism of the Communist government led to a relationship marked by conflict and unease, he was ultimately embraced (though closely monitored) by the Stalinist regime, and Stalin himself was a pallbearer at Gorky’s funeral. AQS, in Russian, on an off-white 4 x 2.25 card. Gorky writes, in full: “With silver, iron is bought, with iron, Freedom.” Signed at the conclusion, “M. Gorki,” and signed again on the reverse, “M. Gorki.” In fine condition, with mild toning and a small pencil notation along bottom edge of reverse. Sold together with an original postcard photograph of Gorky with the great Russian Basso, Feodor Chaliapin.
