Summary

Description
English: An extremely rare photo of East Asians in Soviet intelligence. This type of photo is rare and almost non-existent in the Russian or Soviet state archives. Photo obtained by doing interviews with family members of Khan Chan Ger/Gol (Ger/Gol are just regional pronunciations of the same Korean word. Photo obtained by permission from Revmir Khan, the nephew of Grigorii Eliseevich Khan (aka Khan Chan Ger). This author (person uploading) digitized the said photo on June 9, 2009 in Uzbekistan. Now about the picture, on or around this day 15 March, 1932, the three Soviet Koreans were being sent into Manchuria at that time (Blagoveshchensk to Heihe, China). Manchuria at this time had already become Japanese controlled Manchukuo. The three men were on a spy mission for the USSR. This photo was taken at the same NKVD or Soviet state photo studio as the picture with the eight NKVD agents (of whom 3 were Chinese). It seems apparent that this was an official photo taken by a state or OGPU photographer. Why? Look at the hands on the belt clasps. For OGPU/NKVD officers at the time, this meant "gotov k oborone" that is, "ready to defend" which translates better to English as "ready to protect and serve."

Regarding Copyright; Revmir Khan was the owner of the picture in Kolkhoz Pravda, outside of Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Khan gave this author and signed permission for this author to use the photograph on June 9, 2009. The photo is from his own personal family photo album, photo was not state owned nor ever published by the Soviet state. It is a personal family photo picture!!! to Mr. Abzeronow (seeking to delete it). Please note the writing below the pictures names only one of the three men, Grigorii E. Khan (or Khan Chan Ger the Korean name, Grigorii E is his Russian name). Photo rights belong to Revmir Khan's mother.

Additionally, photo is dated March 15,1932. Per the Russian copyright of 1993 law extending to Soviet/USSR (Uzbekistan was part of the USSR til end of Dec. 1991), books, documents or photos have a copyright to the owner of 50 years. Soviet copyright lasted until March 14, 1982 [50 years]. Thus, this photo as stated by J. Chang is "open source" as if was scanned, digitized much after the Soviet copyright had expired in 2009. Regardless, Chang obtained copyright (signed) by Revmir Khan to use or distribute the photo.
