Issue 2: the Bolsheviks awakened the natural wealth of the country. 



One of the outstanding creations of the great book designer of the twentieth century Lazar Lissitsky, known worldwide as El Lissitsky. In the "Industry of socialism", the brilliant artist tried to combine his understanding of the "Grand style" of the era with the principles of avant-garde art. This masterpiece was one of the last "UPS" of Soviet book constructivism.

The most famous "parade" photo book from the Stalinist period of Russian history, when the Great Tyrant created a story from events that did not happen, he documented what did not happen, fixed in the minds of people non-existent. He created a text, and then illustrated it with fictitious figures, fake statistics, staged retouched photos, leaving posterity supposedly material evidence of the victories and achievements of the pre-war period, when the whole country resembled a continuous GULAG. A kind of "dream factory" in Soviet style!
