1939rif. 43900Moscow: V.V Kuibyshev Military Engineering Academy. Very Good. Hardcover. 4to; 37 ff & 13 ff. plates pages; Typescript versos only of quarto sheets -- carbon. Thirteen plates which appear to be photographs of the original text's illustrations mounted to plain paper sheets. In a contemporary binder citron buckram covers metal hinges retaining leaves at the gutter margins -- pale blue endpapers. Bookplate of the former Army Map Service Library / 6500 Brooks Lane / Washington DC. This is a translation into English of a Russian publication from 1939. Originally published by the Voyenno-Inzhanernoy Akadamii imeni V.V. Kubsheva Moskva 1939. This is an English translation by an unnamed writer or writers. Part of a vast program of wartime translations of technical publications from various sources. The introduction to the text pays considerable attention to the importance placed by V. I. Lenin on military cartography and map making in general. The main text is largely historical although similar texts covering much of this same ground rarely point out the observations of Marx and Engels on the discovery and mapping of America. The first title page is a transliteration of the Russian original. On this there are Army Map Service stamps in ink and blind each cancelled with a faint blue "X". Also the familiar "Surplus Duplicate" stamp of the Library of Congress Gift and Exchange Division appears in red ink. The Army Map Service bookplate is also cancelled with a faint "X" in blue pencil as is the small shelf label entirely handwritten in black ink -- mounted to the upper left hand margin of the front cover. Both shelf label and bookplate state that this was "Copy 2." The Army Map Service formed during the Second World War has undergone several changes of name and now is absorbed into the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency NGA. If any of these entities or the Army Corps of Engineers has retained "Copy 1" of this publication they have not shared this information with OCLC or any other gathering of records which we were able to consult. A rare and interesting "book" -- not least because the Soviet Union may have already entered into the infamous Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact when this original Russian text was published in 1939. By the time the U.S. Army Map Service was formed this pact was rendered null and void by the Nazi invasion of the USSR in Operation Barbarossa. . 1939.

The images show military officers riding horses around a circular track with multiple riders appearing in the racing ground.

The photographs record equestrian activity during a period when mounted service remained closely associated with military training and cavalry traditions despite the increasing mechanization of warfare. Their value lies particularly in the sequence of thirteen related views which provides repeated visual evidence of riders horses uniforms and the physical arrangement of the racetrack rather than a single isolated scene. Condition not stated in the supplied description. A compact photographic record of Russian military horsemanship and organized equestrian sport during the early twentieth century. unknown

1991rif. 055868Tbilisi & Moscow: Komitet Geodeziii Kartohgrafii SSSR / Tbilisskoj Kartograficheskoj Fabrikoj 1991. No Binding. Very Good. A late Soviet map of Abkhazia published in 1991 one year before it became a free republic by the Tbilisi Cartography Factory. Scarce. One of 2150 copies. Slight stains on surface slight chippings on extremities and doodles by pen on verso otherwise a good copy. The Transcaucasian Geodetic Administration of the USSR was established in Tbilisi in 1929 with a small cartographic section. Between 1930 and 1931 it compiled a map of Transcaucasia at a scale of 1:500000 which was printed in Leningrad. The printing of maps in Tbilisi began in 1932 following the receipt of some German-made equipment. The Factory itself was officially founded in 1933 and its first major project was the compilation of a topographic atlas of Transcaucasia in 44 sheets printed in Moscow between 1934 and 1935. The factory's development accelerated in 1935 with the arrival of new equipment and the expansion of staff. However in 1936-37 it faced significant sabotage. In 1938 the factory underwent a complete reorganization with young experts taking leadership roles. Among them were engineer cartographers M. A. Pevlov N. A. Suzdal'skiy V. I. Arzamastsev and S. N. Ter-Grigorian. The printing of maps in Georgian Armenian and Azerbaijani languages became a notable achievement highlighted in Soviet literature as a key accomplishment of the factory. The factory's organizational structure included departments for Map Compilation Lithography Engraving Printing and Transfer. The Tbilisi Cartographic Factory remained active even after Perestroika continuing its work into 1991. OCLC locates two copies in LoC in the US: 32549580.

1955rif. 234761955. Bratskgesstroy photo album depicting construction of the Bratsk Hydroelectric Power Plant on the Angara River between 1955 and 1964 documenting one of the Soviet Union's largest postwar industrial projects during Nikita Khrushchev's campaign to industrialize Siberia. Construction began in 1955 at the Padun narrows north of Irkutsk where the Angara's rapids and elevation drop made the river suitable for massive hydroelectric generation. The first turbine entered service in November 1961 as the Bratsk reservoir began flooding thousands of square kilometers of forest and river settlements to create what Soviet publications called the "Bratsk Sea." By the mid-1960s the station had become the largest hydroelectric plant in the world supplying electricity to aluminum smelters timber combines rail electrification and new industrial cities across eastern Siberia. Photo album of approximately 17 large format professional silver gelatin photographs Bratsk and the Angara River region 1955-1964. large format photographs with Russian printed captions identify stages of construction including "Padun narrows" "Blocking the right bank of the Angara March 1957" "Installation of wires on the Irkutsk-Bratsk 220 kV transmission line" "Completion of the main concrete trestle" "Winter 1960-61" and "June 1963." Winter construction scenes show cranes rising above frozen riverbanks trucks dumping fill into rushing water during diversion work and workers fastening electrical insulators high above snow-covered terrain. Later images depict the completed spillway releasing torrents of water beneath rows of gantry cranes along with an interior control room lined with gauges switches meters and telephone communications equipment. Several leaves contain handwritten French tourism slips describing the visitor's experience moving through the region and observing ice electrical infrastructure and the completed dam landscape. The Bratsk project formed part of the Soviet Union's postwar eastward industrial expansion which sought to shift energy production and heavy industry deep into Siberia during the Cold War. The first turbine entered service in November 1961 as the Bratsk reservoir began flooding thousands of square kilometers of forest and river settlements to create what Soviet publications called the "Bratsk Sea." By the mid-1960s the station had become the largest hydroelectric plant in the world supplying electricity to aluminum smelters timber combines rail electrification and new industrial cities across eastern Siberia. Soviet newsreels propaganda posters and foreign delegations treated Bratsk as proof that the USSR could transform remote Siberian territory into a modern industrial frontier through centralized planning hydroelectric engineering and mass labor mobilization. Light wear occasional silvering and minor surface abrasions to several photographs; album binding intact. Overall in very good condition. unknown
1973rif. C1624Oblong photograph 6 3/4" x 11 1/4" Signed by 14 of the 18 contestants Boris Spassky Michal Tal Anatoly Karpov Alexander Beliavsky Efim Geller Paul Keres Victor Korchnoi Nukhim N Rashkovsky Gennadi Kuzmin Vladimir Savon Evgeni Ellinovich Sveshnikov Mark Taimanov Vladimir Borisovich Tukmakov Orest Averkin and one non contestant Viktor Davidovich Kupreichik on the verso. The photograph shows the stage were the contest took place with lined up game tables and the participants during the competition. In the foreground a part of the auditorium with seated spectators. In the aftermath of Robert James Fischer's victory over Boris Spassky in the 1972 World Championship the Soviet Union had been humiliated and humbled by an American and the 35 year rule of the Soviet chess machine over the international chess world had finally been put to an end. The consequences of this result were felt in Soviet chess for months after. Mark Taimanov Tigran Petrosian and Spassky were all reprimanded for their failure to stop Fischer. Consequences continued into the 41st USSR Championship held in the Soviet capital of Moscow from October 2-26 1973. The tournament was organized to be the strongest in a decade. In addition to the four qualifying players who had each won a semi-final Orest Averkin Karen Grigorian Nukhim Rashkovsky and Evgeni Sveshnikov the very strongest grandmasters of the Soviet Union received forced invitations to participate. The list was a collection of former world champions multiple Soviet title winners and the very strongest of the Soviet school including: Spassky Petrosian Mikhail Tal Vasily Smyslov Anatoli Karpov Viktor Korchnoi Efim Geller Paul Keres Lev Polugaevsky Taimanov Leonid Stein Vladimir Tukmakov Vladimir Savon and Gennadi Kuzmin. Victor Davidovich Baturinsky the vice-president of the USSR chess federation and a Colonel of Justice explained clearly to all the participants that their attendance was not only obligatory but their very future as Soviet chess players and the favors imparted therein depended on their performance in the championship. Stein died before the championship took place and he was replaced by junior world champion Alexander Beliavsky. In addition to the composed line up it was made known that draws of thirty moves or less were 'discouraged' by the organizers. Although short draws did occur the schedule of play and the intense combat among the contestants was arduous. It was Spassky after failing in Reykjavik who emerged victorious by a full point. This edition did have the desired effect of revealing future world title candidates as Karpov and Korchnoi tied for second along with two other contestants and would face each other the following year for what ultimately was the de facto world championship. Condition: Slightly tinted trimmed at the bottom irregularly else a very good copy of an interesting chess historical document. USSR Chess Federation
