Summary:The photographic magazine URSS en construction was produced from 1929 to 1949 for propaganda purposes with the aim of showing Western countries the industrial and ideological power of the USSR. Certain eminent artists such as El Lissitzky and Aleksandr Rodchenko were contributors and, through their photomontages conveyed a utopian image of Stalinist society of the 1930s.
