《政委的消失》以令人不寒而栗的视角，讲述了约瑟夫·斯大林（Joseph Stalin）如何操纵摄影科学来推进自己的政治生涯，并抹去对受害者的记忆。在斯大林的命令下，被清洗的对手被从集体肖像中抹去，人群场景被修改，以描绘更大的忠诚军团。例如，1919年的一张照片显示一大群布尔什维克人聚集在列宁周围，在修图师的帮助下，这张照片变成了列宁和斯大林单独坐着的亲密肖像，然后，在后来的版本中，是斯大林自己的肖像。在每一种情况下，原始图像和篡改图像的并置都产生了一种迷人的——往往是可怕和悲惨的——对现代历史上最黑暗的篇章之一的洞察。
The Commissar Vanishes offers a chilling look at how Joseph Stalin manipulated the science of photography to advance his own political career and to erase the memory of his victims. On Stalin's orders, purged rivals were airbrushed from group portraits, and crowd scenes were altered to depict even greater legions of the faithful. For example, a 1919 photograph showing a large crowd of Bolsheviks clustered around Lenin, became, with the aid of the retoucher, an intimate portrait of Lenin and Stalin sitting alone, and then, in a later version, of Stalin by himself. In each case, the juxtaposition of the original and the doctored images yields a fascinating - and often terrifying and tragic - insight into one of the darkest chapters of modern history.
