Nikiforov Yevgen Decommunized. Ukrainian Soviet Mosaics
Масштабное исследование украинских монументальных мозаик советского периода было создано на основе фотографий Евгения Никифорова, который в течение 3 лет скрупулезно собирал материалы, путешествуя по всей Украине и фиксируя самые интересные произведения 1950–1980 годов. В книге представлено около 200 уникальных панно – удивительных произведений искусства. На них изображены спортсмены, рабочие, пионеры, космонавты – представители идеального советского общества. Сложно поверить, но некоторые из сфотографированных объектов уже уничтожены – в рамках действующей правительственной программы по декоммунизации. Тем важнее сегодня обратить внимание на мозаики, многие из которых разрушаются на глазах, и признать их высокую художественную и историческую ценность. Язык издания: английский.

Nikiforov Yevgen, Baitsym Polina Ukraine. Art for Architecture. Soviet Modernist Mosaics 1960 to 1990
In the times when the Ukrainian art sphere was regulated by the Soviet institutions, local monumental and decorative arts existed at the frontier of the Party's propaganda and the artistic thirst to experiments. Nowadays, Ukrainian mosaics are wrested out of the architectural context of the country in both literal and metaphorical ways. The artworks are liquidated from the buildings they were specifically created for and indiscriminately despised as ideological pieces of no value. Furthermore, in legal terms mosaics are not defined as objects of art that makes them unguarded in the face of the decommunization process. Initially incepted as a guide, this book is an equally beneficial companion for the journey through space (in the context of the geographical area of modern Ukraine) and hitchhiking through time (in terms of Ukrainian cultural history). It incorporates the selection of Ukrainian mosaics which undermines the simplified perspective on the Soviet art heritage in Ukraine. The volume is generously supplemented with unique photographs of the documentary photographer Yevgen Nikiforov who continues the research, initially presented in the book Decommunized: Ukrainian Soviet Mosaics (2017). Together with the art historian Polina Baitsym who reveals striking linkages of the mosaics' plots with broader historical context, he will guide you through the testimonies of the genuine creativity of Ukrainian monumental artists which managed to flourish on the most infertile soil.

Yevgen Nikiforov. Art for Architecture. Ukraine. Soviet Modernist Mosaics 1960 to 1990
Во времена, когда украинская художественная сфера регулировалась советскими институтами, местное монументально-декоративное искусство находилось на переднем крае партийной пропаганды и художественной тяги к экспериментам.Сегодня украинские мозаики вырваны из архитектурного контекста страны как в прямом, так и в переносном смысле. Произведения искусства ликвидируются из зданий, для которых они были специально созданы, и без разбора презираются как идеологические предметы, не имеющие никакой ценности. Более того, с юридической точки зрения мозаики не определяются как предметы искусства, что делает их беззащитными перед лицом процесса декоммунизации.Изначально задуманная как путеводитель, эта книга является одинаково полезным спутником как в путешествии в космосе (в контексте географического пространства современной Украины), так и в путешествии во времени (в контексте истории украинской культуры). Он включает подборку украинских мозаик, которая подрывает упрощенный взгляд на советское художественное наследие в Украине.Том щедро дополнен уникальными фотографиями фотографа-документалиста Евгения Никифорова, продолжающего исследования, первоначально представленные в книге «Декоммунизированные: украинские советские мозаики» (2017). Вместе с искусствоведом Полиной Байцым, которая раскрывает поразительную связь сюжетов мозаик с более широким историческим контекстом, он проведет вас через свидетельства подлинного творчества украинских художников-монументалистов, сумевших процветать на самой неплодородной почве.In the times when the Ukrainian art sphere was regulated by the Soviet institutions, local monumental and decorative arts existed at the frontier of the Party’s propaganda and the artistic thirst to experiments.Nowadays, Ukrainian mosaics are wrested out of the architectural context of the country in both literal and metaphorical ways.

James Hill. Moscow. Monumental Soviet Mosaics 1925 - 1991
Monumental mosaics were created throughout the USSR, but they played a special role in its capital.While in other Soviet cities and republics monumental mosaics became common in the 1960s, in Moscow mosaic was used for art-deco works and social realist ‘pictures’. The entire history of Soviet art is thus reflected in Moscow’s metro stations, palaces of culture, military museums, hospitals, schools, and prefabricated houses. Today, many of these works are disappearing before our eyes, victims of destruction or dismantling; the majority are not listed as under state protection, and a great number of their authors are unknown.This book collects 140 Soviet-era mosaics and arranges them in chronological order. It contains four main sections – Art Deco, Socialist Realism, Modernism, and Postmodernism – and includes a list of 295 mosaics that have been identified. This guide shows well-known works by Aleksander Deyneka, Pavel Korin, Boris Chernyshev, Evgeny Ablin, Yury Korolev, and Leonid Polishchuk side by side with mosaics by artists whose names were for a long time absent from the history of art and architecture. The idea for it came from American photographer James Hill, who spent three years seeking out and photographing works of Soviet monumental art that have not received the attention they deserve and that in the post-Soviet period have often been dismissed as propaganda.

Brandburne James.M, Bowlt John E., Rossi Federica The Adler Collection of Soviet Children's Books. 1930-1933 Two Architects in the Land of the Soviets
For years, a battered, brown leather suitcase sat in a loft. It contained a treasure trove: more than 250 children’s books from the Soviet Union, most in Russian, but with some in Ukrainian and even a few in Yiddish, almost all published between 1930 and 1933. The collection reveals aspects of the early USSR after the October Revolution and the central role of children’s literature in Soviet culture. Among the stories designed to educate new young citizens are rare editions by Vladimir Lebedev, Vera Ermolaeva, and Aleksandr Dejneka, as well as a remarkable group of Ukrainian books, until now considered as undiscovered areas for even the most dedicated researchers.

Herwig Christopher, Hatherley Owen Soviet Metro Stations
Stunning photographs of Soviet Metro Stations from across the former states of the USSR and Russia itself, many of which have never previously been documented For us, said Nikita Khrushchev in his memoirs, `there was something supernatural about the Metro'. Visiting any of the dozen or so Metro networks built across the Soviet Union between the 1930s and 1980s, it is easy to see why. Rather than the straightforward systems of London, Paris or New York, these networks were used as a propaganda artwork - a fusion of sculpture, architecture and art, combining Byzantine, medieval, baroque and Constructivist ideas and infusing them with the notion that Communism would mean a `communal luxury' for all. Today these astonishing spaces remain the closest realisation of a Soviet utopia. Following his best-selling quest for Soviet Bus Stops, Christopher Herwig has completed a subterranean expedition - photographing the stations of each Metro network of the former USSR. From extreme marble and chandelier opulence to brutal futuristic minimalist glory, Soviet Metro Stations documents this wealth of diverse architecture. Along the way Herwig captures individual elements that make up this singular Soviet experience: neon, concrete, escalators, signage, mosaics and relief sculptures all combine build an unforgettably vivid map of the Soviet Metro. The photographs are introduced by leading architecture, politics and culture author and journalist Owen Hatherley.
