  • Beskrivelse: Roger Gillet (1916-1974), a mechanical modeler by training and later head of a carpentry-cabinetmaking company, was a member of the PCF in the 20th arrondissement of Paris // In the mid-1950s, he took part in an organized trip of 2 to 3 weeks to the USSR with other people from the 20th arrondissement where he lived. He brought back photos and slides. The group visited schools, met with politicians and kolkhoz workers, and returned enthusiastically. The documents and audiovisual material were recovered after Roger Gillet's death in 1974, and this 8mm film was entrusted to Ciné-Archives by his daughter Claude Gillet-Colart. // 1st reel: A few details: views along the journey but without any precise indication of the places (Station and train in the direction of Stuttgart and Prague, written on the ground and surrounded by two white doves: "Peace and friendship".
