Additional Details

Aimed at an international audience, USSR in Construction employed the best designers and photographers, including Max Alpert, Georgi Zeima, Georgi Shaikhet, El Lissitzky, Sophie Kuppers and Alexander Rodchenko. The prototype for many propagandist publications to come, this publication employed, by Stalin's decree, photography as a purveyor of truth, and as a means of disseminating the Soviet state narrative.
