Image description: The postcard is titled MVD - the acronym of the Soviet Police force, used here as an acrostic for "We Returned Home [My Vernulis' Domoi]". The caption in Russian reads "The 'Soviet Committee' in the German Communist Zone is appealing to emigres to return home, promising forgiveness and a 'good life'. We know that this 'good life' is behind a wire fence. No power in the world will be able to help those gullible people who pass through the barrier dividing the Free world from the huge concentration camp of the USSR. Watch out. Don't fall for the bait of the MVD." Published in Munich.
