Download or read book VNIITE written by Aleksandra Sanʹkova and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formed in Soviet Russia in 1962, by the design visionary Yuri Soloviev, this vast network contained Moscow?s most progressive designers. The ?Vniitians?, as they were called, designed for the future and developed new theories and approaches to design in the USSR.0But more than ?fty years later, the organisation is all but forgotten. It?s hard to fathom how such an institution, dedicated to the promotion of utopian design, in theory and in practice, and the improvement of design standards within the Soviet Union, could have faded so far from view. After the disintegration of the USSR, the VNIITE and its library of images and prototypes were presumed lost. 0Until now, that is. Thanks to the efforts of the Moscow Design Museum ? and the discovery of the personal archives of some of the VNIITE designers ? the story of this remarkable organisation is being pieced back together.0Alongside images of sketches, models and prototypes, the book also includes a selection of covers of one of the USSR?s hidden gems of graphic design ? the VNIITE?s monthly journal, 'Technical Aesthetics'. Showcased together for the first time, these covers chart Soviet graphic trends from the 1960s to the early 1990s.

Book Synopsis Soviet Critical Design by : Tom Cubbin
Download or read book Soviet Critical Design written by Tom Cubbin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soviet Critical Design is the first book to explore the socialist design practice of 'artistic projecteering', which was developed by the USSR's Senezh Experimental Studio in the 1960s. Tom Cubbin examines the studio as a site for the development of the design discipline in the optimistic environment of the 1960s Soviet Thaw. He also explores how designers adapted to the fast-changing Soviet Union of the 1970s and 1980s, considering their approach to critical projects highlighting the Soviet state's treatment of citizens, urban heritage and public spaces. Drawing on previously unpublished visual material from private archives and also extensive interviews, this book presents a new history of the late socialist period in the USSR, which gives insight into the creative strategies of designers who engaged their practice as a contribution to broader discussions on alternative models for socialist existence. Cubbin shows how artistic projecteering must be read as a utopian activity which privileged the political and ideological over the functional.

Book Synopsis Everyday Soviet Utopias by : Anna Alekseyeva
Download or read book Everyday Soviet Utopias written by Anna Alekseyeva and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-02-07 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how intellectuals of the later Soviet decades – the 1970s and 1980s – sought to bring about the socialist utopian world. It argues that the last two decades of the Soviet Union were not characterised by state withdrawal and malaise, as some scholars have argued; attempts to envisage and enact Utopia remained as imaginative and creative as ever. The book considers what these utopian ideas looked like through housing schemes, layouts of districts and cities, design of objects and interiors, and proposals for the organisation of family and social life. Relating developments in the Soviet Union to evolving social theory and postmodernism more broadly, the book draws transnational parallels between the intellectual history of east and west in the late twentieth century.
Book Synopsis Cold War Submarines by : Norman Polmar
Download or read book Cold War Submarines written by Norman Polmar and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 649 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Submarines had a vital, if often unheralded, role in the superpower navies during the Cold War. Their crews carried out intelligence-collection operations, sought out and stood ready to destroy opposing submarines, and, from the early 1960s, threatened missile attacks on their adversary's homeland, providing in many respects the most survivable nuclear deterrent of the Cold War. For both East and West, the modern submarine originated in German U-boat designs obtained at the end of World War II. Although enjoying a similar technology base, by the 1990s the superpowers had created submarine fleets of radically different designs and capabilities. Written in collaboration with the former Soviet submarine design bureaus, Norman Polmar and K. J. Moore authoritatively demonstrate in this landmark study how differing submarine missions, antisubmarine priorities, levels of technical competence, and approaches to submarine design organizations and management caused the divergence.

Book Synopsis Time and Revolution by : Stephen E. Hanson
Download or read book Time and Revolution written by Stephen E. Hanson and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2000-11-09 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephen Hanson traces the influence of the Marxist conception of time in Soviet politics from Lenin to Gorbachev. He argues that the history of Marxism and Leninism reveals an unsuccessful revolutionary effort to reorder the human relationship with time and that this reorganization had a direct impact on the design of the central political, socioeconomic, and cultural institutions of the Soviet Union from 1917 to 1991. According to Hanson, westerners tend to envision time as both rational and inexorable. In a system in which 'time is money,' the clock dominates workers. Marx, however, believed that communist workers would be freed of the artificial distinction between leisure time and work time. As a result, they would be able to surpass capitalist production levels and ultimately control time itself. Hanson reveals the distinctive imprint of this philosophy on the formation and development of Soviet institutions, arguing that the breakdown of Gorbachev's perestroika and the resulting collapse of the Soviet Union demonstrate the failure of the idea.
