It certainly is not hungry in 1922, and 1931, when it could boast of successes.
"In the village of Il Kirsanovsky county Tambov province emigrants from the United States was established in 1922," Irskaya municipality. "In 1924, then received the title of" The municipality of Lenin. "Actively using tractors bought with money brought from the U.S. (10,000 dollars), the commune have never seen in these parts rye crops by 14.4 quintals per acre (the neighboring peasants gathered by 5.3 quintals). With varying degrees of success municipality existed until 1938, when the transition to charter agricultural artel it has been transformed the farm. Of the remaining 42 by this time veterans of the first wave of immigrants, 24 people were arrested. 12 of them were shot as if for espionage and sabotage of various kinds, others vanished without a trace in the Gulag expanses. In the village of them did not return one.
Not surprisingly, it was here in 1931 brought "boast" success a large delegation from the UK. Informal leader of the visitors for some reason considered Bernard Shaw, although the group included such prominent British establishment, as Lord Astor and marsh, and Lady Astor. "

Investment prospects, I think, no, but in historical terms a definite value, of course. For local history museum, or for those (possibly future) historians, who will study the history of the commune and the fate of its inhabitants. About 20 years ago, it would be absolutely futile, but now it can be.

I just now thought that he wrote it, of course, a local amateur artist. And certainly tried to convey a portrait likeness. Maybe someday the history of this municipality must write, and then shown in this picture, perhaps will gain their names.

Theoretically, purely theoretically, could be of interest for people of those territories, or from families who once lived there.
But I think all these Communards in 5-6 years after the arrival of Shaw under the knife admitted.
We must also remember those who organized this commune, there a some "foreigners" spyware and composed.
