This article could be improved by the addition of additional images.

For example, the discussion of Stalin's Terror Famine and the AAA could use images such as "Auch diese Leiche erregt noch Aufsehen" (http://www.garethjones.org/soviet_articles/thomas_walker/1935/muss_russland_hungern_12_small.jpg) from Ewald Ammende's ''Muss Russland Hungern?'' (the 70-year U.S. copyright term on this image expired in 2005) and "Soup Kitchen during the Depression" (http://media.nara.gov/media/images/27/7/27-0637t.gif) from the National Archives and Records Administration's Franklin D. Roosevelt Library public domain images collection (ARC Identifier: 196174).

Likewise, the discussion of Stalin's Great Terror could use an image such as the photograph of Vyshinskii, chief prosecutor of the Moscow purge trials, at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Radek's_action.jpg and the discussion of the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact could use an image such as the photograph of Molotov, chief Soviet signatory of the pact, at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Molotov.bra.jpg (Both of these images should be public domain in the Russian Federation under Civil Code of the Russian Federation, Book IV, Implementation Act, Law No. 231-FZ, Article 6, Paragraph 1, December 18, 2006.)

The discussion of the dissemination of FBI memos and reports on Alger Hiss to the White House, Attorney General and State Department beginning in 1942 could use an image similar to the one at http://www.conservapedia.com/Image:FBI-Chart-Web.png -- except dealing with Hiss exclusively. I have obtained and scanned such a chart on Hiss from the FBI's "J. Edgar Hoover, Official and Confidential" file, from the FBI's FOIA reading room in the J. Edgar Hoover Building at 935 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. The chart is public domain under U.S. Code, TITLE 17, CHAPTER 1, § 105.

The discussion of Hiss' relationship with Stettinius could use an image such as "Stettinius and Hiss" (http://arcweb.archives.gov/arc/digital_detail.jsp?&pg=4&rn=4&tn=197275&st=b&rp=details&nh=6) (ARC Identifier: 197289) and the section on Yalta, discussing Hiss' contacts with Molotov and Vishinskii, could use an image such as ARC Identifier: 197291 (http://arcweb.archives.gov/arc/digital_detail.jsp?&pg=1&rn=5&tn=197277&st=b&rp=summary&nh=6&si=0), which features Hiss with both Molotov and Vishinskii, as well as Stettinius. Both of these last images are available at the National Archives and Records Administration's Franklin D. Roosevelt Library public domain images collection.

As for the discussion of the Gorsky memo, Professor Haynes has given me permission to reproduce that portion of page one of Vassiliev's notes (http://www.johnearlhaynes.org/v1.tif) featuring the name "Alger Hiss" <<Алджер Хисс>> in Vassiliev's handwriting, but I am awaiting clearance on this from Vassiliev.

I don't have administrator access, so I can't upload images. If any administrator would like to upload any of these images, please let me know, or tell me how to upload images, and I will be glad to do it. Thanks. [[User:FOIA|FOIA]] 17:21, 2 July 2008 (EDT)
