The Soviet Century brings together some 550 photographs by almost
50 great masters of Russian photography, which document the history
of Russia between 1917 and 1970. Authors such as Aleksandr
Rodchenko, Giorgi Zelma and El Lissitzky portrayed meetings,
celebrations, protests, parades, factories, farms, cities,
buildings, wars... and they also made countless portraits of
political leaders, writers, artists, children peasants, soldiers,
miners, etc. Grouped into eight thematic chapters, the images
reconstruct the 1917 Revolution, the dawn of the artistic
avant-garde, the implementation of the five-year plans and World
War II, among many other historical events. Accompanied by three
essays on Soviet history, art and photography, as well as short
biographies of all the featured photographers and other
complementary texts, this beautiful, comprehensive publication
serves as a key testimony to the construction and evolution of the
Soviet regime, as well as a thorough history of 20th-century
Russian photography. It is a must for 20th-century history
enthusiasts and photography fans alike.
