Picturing the Cosmos elucidates the complex relationship between
visual propaganda and censorship in the Soviet Union in the Cold
War period, focusing on the 1950s and 1960s. Drawing from a
comprehensive corpus of rarely seen photographs and other visual
phenomena narrating the Soviet Union's 1957 victory in the 'Race
for Space', the author illustrates the media's role in cementing
the way for Communism whilst retaining top-secret information. Each
photo is examined as a deliberate, functioning part of a specific
political, ideological and historical situation that helped to
anchor the otherwise abstract political and intellectual concepts
of the future and modernization.
