St. Petersburg: Liki Rossii, 2014 (1st ed. 2008). sewn cl. In these archival photographs of a wide spectrum of subjects we see some of the realities of Moscow’s daily life in the early years of Soviet power, such as homeless people and beggars, before censorship sanitized photographic chronicles. Other images, for example, of Communist Party activists at work organizing demonstrations and leading parades with banners and propaganda posters, glorify the new regime. The skillfully choreographed panoply of athletes and soldiers and the demolition of churches suggest darker aspects of the regime. The book publishes pictures by official, professional, and private photographers including the most talented ones of the period: Ia. Khalip, M. Ozerskii, G. Lipskerov, S. Loskutov, B. Kudoiarov, N. Granovskii, E. Evzerikhin, M. Alpert, G. Petrusov, B. Ignatovich, A. Shaikhet, and P. Otsup. 304 pp., 9 x 12 ins., 480 b-&-w illus., Rus., Item #990
