First published as strip comics in 1929 and 1930, and later in book form, the story follows Tintin, a reporter for Le Petit Vingtieme, and his dog Snowy as they embark on an assignment to the Soviet Union. Their journey begins with a train explosion orchestrated by the OGPU, leading to Tintin being wrongfully imprisoned in Berlin. He cleverly escapes through deceit and disguise, stealing a car and encountering numerous adventures before reaching Moscow. There, he witnesses the grim reality of a Soviet election, where citizens are coerced into voting under threat of violence, and discovers that seemingly productive factories are mere facades designed to mislead foreign visitors. Tintin observes the dire conditions in Moscow, where starving children are only given bread if they declare allegiance to Communism, while the country suffers from famine due to the export of its wheat crop. He manages to warn several kulaks of impending danger but is recaptured. In a twist of fate, he uncovers a hidden cache of riches hoarded by Soviet leaders. Armed with this knowledge, he escapes to Berlin, where he confronts OGPU agents intent on silencing him. Upon returning to Belgium, Tintin is celebrated by the public in a grand reception at the Grand Place in Brussels.
