ELUARD, Paul (1895–1952). Fragmentary autograph manuscript. 1 p., in-4. No place, April 27, 1950. Note on the back regarding Stalin and the Red Army. A few marginal stains. Autograph fragment of a speech by Éluard dedicated to the USSR. ÉLUARD, HYMN TO STALIN’S USSR: “[...] At last, Moscow! The city that fills the eyes with wonder! At last, the USSR! The country where freedom lies in the bonds of solidarity among workers! At last, Moscow! The city that fills the eyes with wonder. Where the heart finds reassurance, where reason flourishes! At last, the USSR! The country where freedom lies entirely in the bonds of solidarity among workers.” In 1950, Éluard traveled to Sofia as a delegate of the France-USSR Association, then to Moscow for the May 1st ceremonies. This is an excerpt from a draft of the speech he delivered there.
