USSR Photo 70

Washington DC: Soviet Live, 1970. Reprint from Soviet Life Magazine. Wraps. Six pages plus cover. Page 1/2 is separated but present. Has some wear and soiling. Subscription mail-in card present. This reprint is essentially an advertisement for the USSR Photo 70 traveling exhibition. It was scheduled to visit Washington, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, San Antionio, and New Orleans. Rear cover was entitled White Wood and was photographed by Anatoli Erin. Also includes is Max Alpert's famous The Battalion Commander photograph [sometimes referred to as The Commisar]. In October 1956, the Soviet and US Governments agreed to allow each other to publish a magazine in their own nation, but limited circulation to 30,000 copies per issue. The Soviet Government published a magazine entitled The USSR, while the US Government published Amerika. Soviet Life was generally not a political magazine, in the sense that it rarely delved into the political issues of the day, nor did it talk about political theory, etc. Instead it focused on Soviet culture (including national minorities), science, education and health care. The last issue of Soviet Life was published on December, 1991. Condition: Fair.
