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.

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.

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
