Russkie-Smashers AMAZING ADVENTURES "Escape on a Planetoid"

What if the Russkies had won the Cold War?

That's the premise of this never-reprinted tale from Ziff-Davis' Amazing Adventures #3 (1951)

Oddly, they never asked Rulak what happened to the second ship...

The writer and artist are officially unknown, but I see a great deal of Murphy Anderson's penciling style in a number of panels.
