Now in paperback; Red Star Over Russia is a breathtaking visual history; using posters; photographs; paintings; magazine covers; advertisements; and ephemera to illustrate the dramatic birth and eventual decline of the Soviet Union. The book plunges the reader into the shattering events that brought hope; chaos; heroism; and horror to the citizens of the world’s first workers’ state. The Russian Revolution produced some of the most important advances in art; photography; and graphic design in the 20th century. More than 550 of these widely influential materials are reproduced here; accompanied by David King’s accessible text. King rescues from obscurity many lost heroes and villains through the work of the most brilliant Soviet artists; many of them anonymous or long forgotten.
