1955234761955. 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."

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.

1973 41st USSR Championship Tournament Photograph

1973C1624Oblong photograph 6 3/4" x 11 1/4" Signed by 14 of the 18 contestants Boris Spassky Michal Tal Anatoly Karpov Alexander Beliavsky Efim Geller Paul Keres Victor Korchnoi Nukhim N Rashkovsky Gennadi Kuzmin Vladimir Savon Evgeni Ellinovich Sveshnikov Mark Taimanov Vladimir Borisovich Tukmakov Orest Averkin and one non contestant Viktor Davidovich Kupreichik on the verso. The photograph shows the stage were the contest took place with lined up game tables and the participants during the competition. In the foreground a part of the auditorium with seated spectators. In the aftermath of Robert James Fischer's victory over Boris Spassky in the 1972 World Championship the Soviet Union had been humiliated and humbled by an American and the 35 year rule of the Soviet chess machine over the international chess world had finally been put to an end. The consequences of this result were felt in Soviet chess for months after. Mark Taimanov Tigran Petrosian and Spassky were all reprimanded for their failure to stop Fischer. Consequences continued into the 41st USSR Championship held in the Soviet capital of Moscow from October 2-26 1973. The tournament was organized to be the strongest in a decade. In addition to the four qualifying players who had each won a semi-final Orest Averkin Karen Grigorian Nukhim Rashkovsky and Evgeni Sveshnikov the very strongest grandmasters of the Soviet Union received forced invitations to participate. The list was a collection of former world champions multiple Soviet title winners and the very strongest of the Soviet school including: Spassky Petrosian Mikhail Tal Vasily Smyslov Anatoli Karpov Viktor Korchnoi Efim Geller Paul Keres Lev Polugaevsky Taimanov Leonid Stein Vladimir Tukmakov Vladimir Savon and Gennadi Kuzmin. Victor Davidovich Baturinsky the vice-president of the USSR chess federation and a Colonel of Justice explained clearly to all the participants that their attendance was not only obligatory but their very future as Soviet chess players and the favors imparted therein depended on their performance in the championship. Stein died before the championship took place and he was replaced by junior world champion Alexander Beliavsky. In addition to the composed line up it was made known that draws of thirty moves or less were 'discouraged' by the organizers. Although short draws did occur the schedule of play and the intense combat among the contestants was arduous. It was Spassky after failing in Reykjavik who emerged victorious by a full point. This edition did have the desired effect of revealing future world title candidates as Karpov and Korchnoi tied for second along with two other contestants and would face each other the following year for what ultimately was the de facto world championship. Condition: Slightly tinted trimmed at the bottom irregularly else a very good copy of an interesting chess historical document. USSR Chess Federation

1958055782Cairo: 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.
