Encuadernación de tapa dura. Condizione: Muy bien. Folio. Bound in half blue cloth. USSR under construction was a Soviet propaganda publication published between 1930 and 1941, when the Nazi invasion of the USSR occurred to begin the so-called Great Patriotic War. In addition, it also came out briefly during 1949. It became one of the main journals encompassed within the Marxist counter-current during the first year of the so-called socialist realism launched in the then Soviet Union. Its pages offered some of the best examples of photomontages of the early twentieth century. Each number was characterized by its elaborate artistic creation, including large pages, some of which were collapsible. In addition to the Russian language, the magazine was translated into German, French, English and, since 1938, into Spanish. The publication informed its foreign readers about the alleged phenomenon of "hyperconstruction" that it was having in the Soviet Union and represented that communist state as one of the main emerging industrial powers. The self-proclaimed purpose of the publication was to "reflect in the photograph the entire scope and variety of construction work that is taking place in the USSR". By focusing on a single theme or initiative in each issue, the artists who contributed to it effectively intended to portray the heroic efforts of the Soviet workers, sometimes spilling some large-scale projects, into fulfilling the objectives established by the then supreme leader Stalin for the transformation of a country that was still technologically deficient in a world power eventually productive and developed (so much so that in 1949 he managed to detonate his first atomic bomb (although he did it earlier than expected in the West because the physicist and spy German communist Klaus Fuchs managed to infiltrate the ultra-secret United States Manhattan Project).…

Softcover. First editions, two volumes; folio: 16 1/2 x 11 1/2; pp. 30 and 32 respectively; mustard and black wraps, printed in red, white, and gray; a bit of wear and small nicks to corners and edges; illustrated with photographs by Petrusov, Shterzer, Grigoriev, and others; cover art design by O. Deinek; overall in very good condition.One of the most artistic gems from the beginning of the Social Realism period, the journal was published monthly from 1930 to 1941 and, briefly, in 1949 in Russian, German, English, French, and, later, Spanish. The self-proclaimed purpose of the magazine was to portray Russia as an emerging industrial power, or "to publish a special illustrated magazine 'The USSR in Construction,' reflecting the colossal construction now taking place in the Soviet Union." The various issues often featured lavish fold-out illustrations, die-cuts, and photographic plates. The publication also drew articles from the most beloved authors of the times, including Isaac Babel and Sergei Tretiakov, and some of the most talented photo-journalists and artists - Georgii Zelma, Max Penson, Max Alpert, and others - as after Stalin's proclamation that Constructivism was bourgeois and the only acceptable form of art was Social Realism - photomontage was an alternative mode of expression to them all. The cover art on most of the issues was designed by El Lissitzky and his wife Sophie Lissitzky-Kuppers and Alexander Rodchenko and wife, Varvara Stepanova. Though initially the journal focused on featuring large industrial and construction projects, it later expanded its scope to cover sports, politics, transportation, and more. The current issues were dedicated to the textile and metallurgical industries, etc. …
