Once there, he uncovers some shocking Bolshevik secrets. Review: Understand and appreciate the context - I think most reviewers here on desertcart did a good job on clarifying the context in which this work was created. A minority, however, seems to be composed of apologists for communism who don't like the true colors of bolshevism exposed. Judging this work by today's standards would be akin to criticizing Destination Moon for the way it portrays rocket ships and space travel. This is a comic strip, not a faithful representation of reality - expect exaggerations and simplifications to convey a greater point of view: that the Soviet Union's foundations were based on lies told by the communists, and that to maintain those lies a lot of work was done in the form of suppression, intimidation, misdirection and propaganda. Did Hergè perhaps go a bit too far? Yes - Tintin would've been thrown in a gulag somewhere and that would be the end of it. Not too much of a story, then. But the overall context becomes very clear once you read Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago, which I highly recommend. If you like Tintin, this is a must-have for your collection, period. For kids, I'd suggest at least 9 or 10 y/o, preceded by some context about what communism is, as it can be quite difficult to understand the things that happen throughout the story if you're born and raised in freedom.
