Hellyer 860. Karasik/Heiting 17 ff. Parr/Badger I, 148 f. Rowell/Wye 242 f. – L’un des numéros les plus importants de la quatrième année de parution du magazine de propagande soviétique. La revue paraissait tous les mois de 1930 à 1949 en cinq langues (russe, anglais, français, espagnol et allemand). Chaque numéro était consacré à un thème différent, comme la production alimentaire et industrielle, la République de Géorgie, le cinéma soviétique et les élections. – „In the early 1930s photo-reportage became the foundation of the magazine USSR in Construction that „was created as a publication for the popularization of large-scale construction projects by photographic means. But as the magazine grew and developed, the task of ‘popularization’ evolved into that of presenting Socialist reality with dramatic artistry.“ (L. Mezhericher, „Na putiakh k sotsialisticheskomu stiliu fotografii” [“On the way to a Socialist style of photography“], No. 2, p. 14). Well known Soviet designers and photographers worked on USSR in Construction. The industrial spirit of the magazine, expressed in compositionally sharp subjects, panoramas and dynamic shots evokes admiration even today and conveys the atmosphere of enthusiasm that carried along not just the photographers, but also the builders themselves. The creative scale of the construction engendered the photographic epic, a style of monumental artistic photography. The founders of this most successful and high-quality periodical were Gorky and Koltsov“ (Mikhail Karasik). – Très bel exemplaire.
One of the most significant issues from the fourth year of publication of the Soviet propaganda magazine. The magazine was published monthly from 1930 to 1949 in five languages (Russian, English, French, Spanish and German). Each issue was devoted to a different theme, such as food and industrial production, the Republic of Georgia, Soviet cinema and elections. – Very fine.
