An image of the trial of Jan Cieplak, the Archbishop of Vilnius, and other Russian Catholic priests, at a revolutionary tribunal in Moscow in March 1923. The photograph was taken and captioned (below) by Francis McCullagh (1874-1956), an Irish journalist who reported on the trial for the ‘New York Herald’. The caption is taken from a letter from McCullagh extant in letter book at CA CP/3/1/1/5. Several of McCullagh’s photographs relating to the Russian Civil War and the foundation of the Soviet Union are extant in the photographic volume.
