In 1935, Burck traveled to Moscow with Kriger and their young son to complete and install a set of murals commissioned by Intourist, Inc.
Most of the featured buildings, serving as decorations and the main filming scene (hotel "Intourist"), palace "October") were in fact built in the very same 1974, specially for the 50th Anniversary of the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.
Mihail Gorin came to the U.S. in 1936, and operated the Los Angeles office of the Soviet tourist agency Intourist.
