A drought, coupled with massive economic and social restructuring during the Russian Revolution, resulted in a devastating famine in 1921-1922 in the Volga region, which includes the City of Saratov. Gustavus students and faculty responded to an appeal from the National Lutheran Council in late 1921 with a contribution of $395.25 toward Russian relief. This letter of thanks, with parallel text in Russian and English, was written and illustrated by students of German ancestry enrolled at Saratov University.
