Soviets: Drawings by Danzig Baldaev. Photographs by Sergei Vasiliev.

Danzig Baldaev's illustrations are awesome and he pulls no punches when it comes to life in the Soviet Union: Russian chauvinism, rampant alcoholism, fossilized bureacrats, worker inefficiency, mass shortages, perestroika, and the fate of the Soviet Afghan vets. The drawings can be ugly at times (especially when depicting many of the communist leaders as "zionists") but that is an unfortunate effect of totalitarianism: when the state lies about so many things EVERYTHING it says is suspect. The photos are a nice counterpoint to the illustrations, showing the Soviet's self-image.

Interesting book, good to know briefly the situation in the soviet era

If you like the other books by this author(Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopedia, and Gulag), then you will like this.

wasnt as good as I was hoping it to be,

La calidad material del texto es incuestionable. Pasta dura, en excelente Estado. En cuanto al Libro, las imágenes analizadas muestran de manera sobresaliente, la vida interna de la burocracia comunista soviética desde la perspectiva de un ex-funcionario soviético.

Excellent service from Fuel as usual.
