An interesting piece of propaganda promoting the Soviet Union as the world economy was sunk in the Great Depression.  The authors focus on the First Five-Year Plan of the Soviet Union following the First World War.  They look at the serious importance of the work of Socialist construction in the country, shown mostly and vividly through photographs.  Photographs have captions in German, English, and French.
