Red Guards

This photograph depicts a large gathering of Red Guards symbolically attacking the Soviet Union by naming the street on which its embassy is situated as 'Anti-revisionism Road'. Russian leader Khrushchev had been critical of the Great Leap Forward and Mao's deviation from orthodox Marxism. In turn, Mao accused Khrushchev of capitalism and reaching out to the United States.
