ÐšÐžÐÐ¡Ð¢Ð Ð£ÐšÐ¢ÐžÐ Ð®ÐÐžÐ¡Ð¢Ð¬ - 3; "Constructor Youth-3" A Soviet pre-collapse constructor set for young people

1980réf. 81760Moscow: Tushino Machine Building Plant 1980's. Pasteboard box 44cm x 23cm. Name printed in stark black and white onto a stereotypically minimalist Soviet box all the more susrprising considering this is a toy for children. Light inoffensive wear to the extremities a little rubbing and scuffing to the corners clean and complete. The verso of the box lid contains a plan of the contents with item numbers and small illustrations. Inside the box liner is moulded polystyrene with spaces for the individual components ranging from pressed steel baseboards and wall/hull sections to a set of rubber tyres woven string to simulate hawsers and cables pulleys connecting rods all the necessary tools a bag of nuts bolts and other connector pieces; all mass produced in a fashion that would have even a cursory modern day child safety inspection shutting down the whole plant and issuing a warning that if your children get this for Christmas you might need to count their fingers on Boxing Day. Miraculously complete as far as can be ascertained and with very little sign of use including the plans and construction book which is complex enough to count as aggressively educational and has the original warranty sheet with inspection stamps hand stamped and dated 1992 although the slip dates the set to the 1980's laid in. The introduction to the set in the 62 page instruction book states: "The 'Yunost' contruction set is a game designed in 1944 to introduce children aged 10-15 years to the principles of technical design and construction engineering. Each set of the 'Yunost' construction set contains the most intricate parts intnded for assembling models of various mechanisms machines and industrial structures." Clearly designed as a controlled Soviet alternative to Western toys like Erector Sets Meccano and the like the principles are identical whilst the delivery is rather more tailored to a deliberately educational USSR approach to entertaining children. "Nothing without purpose" seems to have been the guiding tenet of USSR toy production approaches which became notorious for taking an existing Western temptation like Meccano or Lego or GI-Joe and adapting them to the requirements of collective adherence to the improvement of the USSR. To Western eyes a lot of this material looks like the physical representation of the "We have McDonalds at home." meme but whilst Western toy design was aimed as much at keeping kids quiet and out of the way with a side of education the Soviet philosophy seems to have been 'if a child is building a toy crane then he should be learning the principles of load bearing members understanding pulleys and getting an idea of where crane operators fit into the process of industrial engineering' whilst this approach seems to take some of the joy out of play time it also contributed to the Western paranoia that the USSR was basically a cradle to grave enemy factory.

The Quest of The Romanoff Treasure

1936réf. 83612New York: The Paisley Press Inc. Succeeding William Farquhar Payson 1936. Stated Third Edition. Octavo. 21.5cm. Publisher's heavy grain pale grey cloth titled and decorated in gilt to spine and front board. Dustjacket. xi; 241pp. Some wear and discoloration to extremities very light it's a very solidly produced book so wear and tear is represented by darkening of the cloth at the edges and some softening of the spine ends rather than anything more drastic; internally clean ownership to front pastedown author's signature to front flyleaf; in a handsome example of the gold and black dustjacket with some chipping and shallow loss to the spine ends scuffing and rubbing to the gilt paper coating and some marginal creasing and soiling. A very good solid copy. Illustrated throughout with full page plates. For a man named by his father after the logo of the American Socialist Labor Party after slipping out of Odessa in the 1870's Armand Hammer's journey to become one of the world's most influential businessmen and "Lenin's Favorite Capitalist" must have been a dramatic one. His father Julius had spent much of the early 20th century consolidating his role at Allied Drug and Chemical which was essentially at times a smuggling front shipping embargoed goods to Russia during the US trade sanctions. After Julius was sentenced to 3 years in Sing Sing allegedly for a botched abortion that resulted in the death of a Russian woman from subsequent pneumonia although modern research suggests that Armand a medical student might have been the one who performed the abortion and Julius took responsibility as the qualified senior medical professional present Armand took over Allied Drug and Chemical and raised it to new heights of corporate success. During Prohibition Allied's largest seller was a essentially alcoholic ginger ale sold as a medicinal tonic to great profit. Acting under the instructions of his imprisoned father Armand began taking numerous business trips to the Soviet Union. A young J. Edgar Hoover at that point basically an analyst at the Justice Department very strongly believed that the equally youthful Hammer was a COMINTERN courier and essentially placed him under surveillance for the rest of his life. Hammer's trips to Russia were ostensibly to recoup bad debts but this quickly developed into a number of lucrative business deals not least of which was selling cheap wheat to starving famine hit areas of Russia. Hammer developed a close co-operative no pun intended relationship with Lenin which resulted in a number of very high status business contracts and deals ranging from medical import contracts to 25 year's worth of asbestos mining in the Urals; one of Hammer's greatest coups was arranging payment for various services in furs caviar jewellery and antiquities seized by the Party from its long tail of enemies making him essentially a conduit for looted and otherwise dubious art jewels and antiques. At the height of Lenin's New Economic Policy Armand Hammer was the sole trade liason between the enormity of Soviet Russia and 38 major US corporations seeking to build trade deals through him. His grasp of the downrange necessities of dealing with the Soviets; graft bribery corruption and palm greasing was legendary and by the 1970's when his methods were starting to be inspected more closely there was no doubt that Hammer's understanding of legitimate business was secondary to his instinctive abilities in the fields of corporate and beaurocratic bribery and manipulation. This book is one personal perspective on the empire of treasure that Hammer accumulated; there are others and the entangled ephemeral traces of looted artworks forged and unfinished Fabergé eggs specially manufactured jeweller's tools designed to copy Fabergé's style exactly and a wealth of other foggy rumors and suspicions ranging from Armand the KGB stooge to Armand the James Bond Villain bent on Soviet domination through capitalism will continue to follow in his wake whether he be considered a legitimate businessman or a highly successful 20th century robber baron of legendary proportions.
