Alexander Grinberg Explained

Aleksandr Danilovich Grinberg (; 1885 - 1979) was a photographer. In 1908 he was awarded the silver medal in the all-Russian photo exhibition in Moscow and the gold medal in the international photo-exhibition in Dresden.^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}

Since 1929, the year of the "Great Break", with the turn in the Soviet politics toward arts, his erotic photography was declared inappropriate for Soviet morale, as a feature of the "overindulged idleness of the rich". His works came under increasing criticism in the context of government views of socialist morality.^[5] Nevertheless, he risked exhibitions of semi-naked women, and was eventually sentenced to Gulag labor camps (1936 - 1939) "for distribution of pornography".^[2]
