Summary:
A photographic insight into the Soviet-era architecture of one of the most extreme, little-known and vast territories on Earth. From the Ural Mountains to the Arctic Circle, the book features the extensive microrayons of Siberia’s urban centres, the brutal landscapes of industrial monotowns, cosmic circuses, concrete theatres and opera houses, as well as prefabricated panel blocks, or panelki, erected on permafrost. Divided into 6 chapters, Concrete Siberia by Zupagrafika contains over 100 photographs capturing the stark splendour of post-war modernist architecture scattered around the cities of Novosibirsk, Omsk, Krasnoyarsk, Norilsk, Irkutsk and Yakutsk and the quotidian lives of their inhabitants.

Summary:
Featuring a redesigned cover, ''Home Made Russia'' compiles over 220 artefacts of Soviet culture, each accompanied by a photograph of the creator, their story of how the object came about, its function and the materials used to create it.The Vladimir Arkhipov collection includes hundreds of objects created with often idiosyncratic functional qualities, made for use both inside and outside the home, such as a tiny bathtub plug carefully fashioned from a boot heel; a back massager made from an old wooden abacus; a road sign used as a street cleaner’s shovel; and a doormat made from beer bottle tops. ''Home Made Russia'' presents a unique picture of a critical period of transition, as the Soviet regime crumbled but was yet to be replaced with a new system. Each of these objects is a window, not only into the life of its creator, but also the situation of the country at this time. Shortages in stores were commonplace, while wages might be paid in goods, or simply not paid at all. These exceptional circumstances lent themselves to a singular type of ingenuity, respectfully documented in intimate detail by Vladimir Arkhipov.

Summary:
'The Soviet Century' is a comprehensive new assessment of Soviet photography from the years 1917 to 1972. Over 500 photographs from the collection of Spain’s Archivo Lafuente present a deep survey of Soviet life through depictions of political meetings, factories, demonstrations and farms, as well as portraits of political leaders, artists, peasants and workers. This 600-page volume includes three historical essays that examine the complex artistic and ideological status of photography throughout the period, caught between state-led imperatives to achieve political ends and formal, artistic experimentation, especially with the 1920s avant-garde.
