But as the magazine grew and developed, the task of ‘popularization’ evolved into that of presenting Socialist reality with dramatic artistry.“ (L. Mezhericher, „Na putiakh k sotsialisticheskomu stiliu fotografii” [“On the way to a Socialist style of photography“], No. 2, p. 14). Well known Soviet designers and photographers worked on USSR in Construction. The industrial spirit of the magazine, expressed in compositionally sharp subjects, panoramas and dynamic shots evokes admiration even today and conveys the atmosphere of enthusiasm that carried along not just the photographers, but also the builders themselves. The creative scale of the construction engendered the photographic epic, a style of monumental artistic photography. The founders of this most successful and high-quality periodical were Gorky and Koltsov“ (Mikhail Karasik). – Umschläge teils etwas fleckig und am Rücken berieben, 3 Hefte mit Fehlstellen am Rücken, sonst gut erhalten.
