198081760Moscow: Tushino Machine Building Plant 1980's. Pasteboard box 44cm x 23cm. Name printed in stark black and white onto a stereotypically minimalist Soviet box all the more susrprising considering this is a toy for children. Light inoffensive wear to the extremities a little rubbing and scuffing to the corners clean and complete. The verso of the box lid contains a plan of the contents with item numbers and small illustrations. Inside the box liner is moulded polystyrene with spaces for the individual components ranging from pressed steel baseboards and wall/hull sections to a set of rubber tyres woven string to simulate hawsers and cables pulleys connecting rods all the necessary tools a bag of nuts bolts and other connector pieces; all mass produced in a fashion that would have even a cursory modern day child safety inspection shutting down the whole plant and issuing a warning that if your children get this for Christmas you might need to count their fingers on Boxing Day. Miraculously complete as far as can be ascertained and with very little sign of use including the plans and construction book which is complex enough to count as aggressively educational and has the original warranty sheet with inspection stamps hand stamped and dated 1992 although the slip dates the set to the 1980's laid in. The introduction to the set in the 62 page instruction book states: "The 'Yunost' contruction set is a game designed in 1944 to introduce children aged 10-15 years to the principles of technical design and construction engineering. Each set of the 'Yunost' construction set contains the most intricate parts intnded for assembling models of various mechanisms machines and industrial structures."<br /> <br /> Clearly designed as a controlled Soviet alternative to Western toys like Erector Sets Meccano and the like the principles are identical whilst the delivery is rather more tailored to a deliberately educational USSR approach to entertaining children. "Nothing without purpose" seems to have been the guiding tenet of USSR toy production approaches which became notorious for taking an existing Western temptation like Meccano or Lego or GI-Joe and adapting them to the requirements of collective adherence to the improvement of the USSR. To Western eyes a lot of this material looks like the physical representation of the "We have McDonalds at home." meme but whilst Western toy design was aimed as much at keeping kids quiet and out of the way with a side of education the Soviet philosophy seems to have been 'if a child is building a toy crane then he should be learning the principles of load bearing members understanding pulleys and getting an idea of where crane operators fit into the process of industrial engineering' whilst this approach seems to take some of the joy out of play time it also contributed to the Western paranoia that the USSR was basically a cradle to grave enemy factory.

1916055715Saint Petersburg: Imprimerie Militaire 1916. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Original wrappers. Roy. 8vo. 24 x 16 cm. Bilingual text in Russian photographic reproduction and translation in French. 96 p. Occasionally light foxing on the cover. Otherwise in good condition. Rare first edition in book form of this report attributed to Russian consul Mayewski in Bitlis and Van in 1912 titled "Statistique des Provinces de Van et de Bitlis". The report was written in Russian by Vladimir Teofilovich Mayevski a former Russian general consul in East Anatolia and this is the first edition in book form published in St. Petersburg including a parallel text of Russian fragments and French translation. The report allegedly written by the Russian consul regarding the Armenian events that arose in Eastern Anatolia due to the Armenian question that started at the end of the 19th century and the nationalist approach of the Etchmiadzin Church to the issue documents the massacres committed by Armenian atrocities and organizations like Dashnaksutyun against the Muslim population in the region. The content of this rare book is controversial and may have been written for propaganda purposes during its period. <br/> <br/> Imprimerie Militaire paperback
