The exhibition "The USSR is building socialism. Masterpieces of the photobook of the 1930s" Automatic translate

The exhibition “The USSR is building socialism. The masterpieces of the photobook of the 1930s ”introduces the brightest and largest period in the history of the Soviet photobook. Of the many areas of publishing policy of the time, we chose the main topic: industrialization, the reorganization of the economy, on which the future of the Soviets depended.

The heroic work and the romance of construction became an enormous creative impulse for photographers and workers who felt themselves part of a common cause, were witnesses and participants in a grandiose reconstruction of the country.

The industrial theme in official propaganda grew into an extensive publishing project, which reflected in the photo series and photo chronicle the construction of the famous first-born five-year-olds: Dneproges, Magnitogorsk, Turksib and others.

Exhibition concept, texts and selection of materials - Mikhail Karasik.

The coordinator of the exhibition is Ekaterina Zueva.
