1955réf. 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

The Construction and Editing of Military Maps; Parts I and II

1939réf. 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.

STATE GEODESY OF THE USSR (Edited by N A KHVEDELIDZE).Biblio.com

LATE SOVIET MAP OF ABKHAZIA BY THE TBILISI CARTOGRAPHIC SECTION Abkhazskaya ASSR.

1991réf. 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.

THE USSR PROPAGANDA IN EGYPTBiblio.com

SOVIET PROPAGANDA IN THE ARAB WORLD / THE SOVIET SPACE PROGRAM Darâsât ilmiyyat Sofyatiyyat: Nashrat Gerdora Yuliyu fî sana 1958 i.e. Soviet Scientific Studies Gerdora Bulletin July 1958. No. 1.

1958réf. 055782Cairo: The USSR Embassy Press Office in the United Arab Republic UAR 1958. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Contemporary full green cloth in Egyptian style contemporary white endpapers gilt lettering of title on front board and gilt decorations on spine. Original pictorial cover saved inside. Roy. 8vo. 24 x 17 cm. In Arabic. 88 p. 12 b/w ills. including drawings and reproduced photographic plates. Extremely rare unrecorded first issue of this Soviet propaganda organ published in Cairo the centre of the UAR by the USSR Propaganda Press Office with a striking cover design depicting the Sputniks in space celebrating the third anniversary of the Kosmicheskaya programma SSSR. The content begins with a comparison between the Soviet and American satellites. A full-paged photograph shows the Muscovites reading newspapers about the launch of the third Soviet satellite into space. In the periodical many details such as the construction processes and technical specifications of the satellites are explained as well as a striking history of the Soviet Space Program. Relations between Russia and Egypt have a long history dating back to before the 16th century. In the 1950s Gamal Abdel Nasser's independent and anti-imperialist policy earned him enthusiastic support from the Communist government of the USSR. In 1955 Egypt made a major arm deal with the Soviet Union and from then teams of Egyptian officers were trained in Eastern Bloc countries. Czechoslovak instructors also came in 1956 to train Egyptian personnel in the use of Soviet weapons. When France attacked Egypt during the Suez Crisis the USSR threatened to use destructive weapons i.e. nuclear weapons for the defence of Egypt. The degree of the Soviet approval of the Egyptian leader's policies culminated rather controversially in the award of the highest Soviet decoration the star of the Hero of the Soviet Union with the Order of Lenin to Nasser during Nikita Khrushchev's visit to the country in 1964. Kosmicheskaya programma SSSR i.e. The Soviet Space Program was the national space program of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics USSR active from 1955 until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. After WWII the Soviet and US space programs both utilized German technology in their early efforts. Eventually the program was managed under Sergei Korolev who led the program based on unique ideas derived by Konstantin Tsiolkovsky sometimes known as the father of theoretical astronautics. Contrary to its American European and Chinese competitors who had their programs run under a single coordinating agency the Soviet space program was divided and split among several internally competing design bureaus led by Korolev Kerimov Keldysh Yangel Glushko Chelomey Makeyev Chertok and Reshetnev. The Soviet space program served as an important marker of Soviet claims to its global superpower status. Wikipedia. As of May 2024 not in OCLC and KVK.
