Solomon Yudovin (Соломон Борисович Юдовин; 1892-1954), born in Beshenkovichi in the Vitebsk region, studied art under Yehuda Pen and Mstislav Dobuzhinsky and specialized in printmaking and book illustration. In the years 1912-1914 he was a member of An-sky's ethnographic expedition to the Pale of Settlement, a journey that greatly influenced his artistic path. Most of his works dealt with Jewish themes and incorporated Jewish folk motifs. In the years 1918-1923 he stayed in Vitebsk, which was then one of the centers of avant-garde artistic activity. Unlike many of his contemporary Russian Jewish artists, Yudovin was not influenced by modernism and engaged in realistic figurative art throughout his life.

El (Eliezer Lazar Markovich) Lissitzky (Ла́зарь Ма́ркович (Мо́рдухович) Лиси́цкий; 1890-1941), a Jewish-Russian artist, designer, photographer, teacher, typographer and architect, one of the most prominent and important members of the Russian avant-garde.
Lissitzky, an architect by training, contributed much, together with his teacher and friend Kazimir Malevich, to the conceptualization and development of the Suprematism movement – the abstract art focused on geometric forms. He also designed numerous books and journals, exhibitions, and propaganda posters for the communist regime in Russia and influenced the Bauhaus and Constructivist movements in Europe.
In 1921, Lissitzky moved to Germany, where he served as the Russian cultural ambassador, engaged in forming connections between Russian and German artists and continued to design books and journals; there he also created some of his most well-known works in the field of book design, including the issues of the journal "Veshch/Gegenstand/Objet", which he founded together with the writer Ilya Ehrenburg, and a volume of poetry by Vladimir Mayakovsky.
Lissitzky died in Moscow at the age of 51. In his final years, his artistic work was dedicated mainly to soviet propaganda; yet it seems that the same worldview accompanied his works throughout his life – the belief in goal-oriented creation (Zielbewußte Schaffen, the German term he coined) and the power of art to influence and bring about change.

Итоги первой пятилетки, доклад на объединенном пленуме ЦК и ЦКК ВКП (б) 7 января 1933 г., by Joseph Stalin. Moscow: Партийное издательство, 1933. Russian.


A transcript of a speech held by Joseph Stalin on the occasion of the completion of the first five-year plan of the Soviet Union. The speech includes a comprehensive review of the successes and failures of the first five-year plan, which was characterized by rapid industrialization and collectivization.
The first five-year plan was Stalin's revolutionary attempt to transform the Soviet Union from an agricultural society into a modern industrial state within five years. The plan was partially achieved, but at a heavy price of mass starvation and death among the population, and widespread political repression and persecution.


76, [3] pages. Approx. 22.5 cm. Good to fair condition. Stains and creases. Minor tears, including open tears. Inscription on front cover.
