Review: "For all the talk of bread lines and communal apartments, the Soviets made things well, too - the knives are still sharp and the pots are still worthy 30 years after my family left the USSR. And the things the Soviets made were sometimes beautiful, too. We may have needed Communism to fall in order to see it - or just the publication of a book as gorgeous and necessary as this one."― Boris Fishman, author of A Replacement Life "Explores a period in the history of design that has been largely overlooked."― Crafts "Following on from its recent book delving into Nicholas Bonner's personal collection of graphic ephemera from North Korea, publisher Phaidon has its sights set on the visual history of the Soviet Union with its latest release. Drawing from the collection of the Moscow Design Museum, the book features over 350 images of products and graphics that offer a glimpse into what everyday life looked like behind the Iron curtain."―
