Synopsis:

A stunning visual history of all levels of Soviet society--the working-class people, political leaders, and the critical events that shaped the 20th-century Soviet Union. In a career that spanned more than five decades, Dmitri Baltermants was the premier photographer in the Soviet Union, an official photographer to Stalin and Kruschev and the editor of Ogonyok magazine. His works, as seen in this collection, helped shape the way in which the Soviet people viewed the world. 150 photos.
