In 1987, 50 Western and 50 Soviet photographers spread out across the Soviet Union and captured on film a day in a country that stood at the apex of remarkable change as it celebrated the 70th anniversary of the Great October Revolution. As the Soviet people looked back on decades of war and famine, conquest and achievement, and forward to sweeping changes during a time of new leadership and openness, the photographers were granted unprecedented access to homes, factories, schools and even prisons. They traveled to all 15 Soviet republics and across 11 time zones. They ventured into areas that have been closed to outsiders for centuries, and they came back with candid images of the daily life of the people behind the headlines, capturing a lost Soviet era, the twilight of a country.
Synopsis
More than three hundred photographs visually survey the diversity of Russian landscapes and cityscapes and depict routine daily life throughout the Soviet Union.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Ich habe mir dieses Buch bestellt, weil ich immer wissen wollte, wie es in der Sowjetunion vor dem Zusammenbruch wirklich aussah. Das Buch vermittelt dies aber nicht. Das Buch ist Teil einer sehr großen englischsprachigen Serie, von denen ich schon einige habe (A Day in the Life of Australia, California etc.) Daher ist das Schema in etwa gleich.
Das ist aber nicht das was mich stört. Was mich stört ist, dass vieles unrealistisch wirkt, bes. merkt man das an den Bildern. Von Ausnahmen abgesehen wirken die Bilder auf mich gestellt. Ich finde in dem Buch kommt einfach die Stimmung nicht herüber. Schade eigentlich, da es wirklich interessante Bücher über die vergangene Zeit gibt, und ein paar der Bilder in dem Buch sind wirklich Spitze.

Immense diversity in a third world area

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Too many people confuse Russia with the Soviet Union. The diversity of peoples and lands is huge. Of all the books in the series, this one is by far the best.
Interesting snapshot of life in the USSR
15. April 2012
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I bought this book for $1 at a used book sale (these books are everywhere) because it looked interesting. It is.
This book is neither propaganda nor, as another reviewer put it, a nostalgic view of the USSR. That wasn't the book's intention, and it doesn't read that way at ALL (not sure where those other 2 reviewers were coming from). It's simply a collection of photos from the one day in 1987 in 15 countries that made up the republic (I believe all 15 were depicted, I'm not going to check).
It was the first time photojournalists were allowed into the USSR and, as described in the book, it was not without its hold-ups, including such things as the Soviet government staging photo-ops and confiscating film/detaining photographers.
The main idea of the book (besides being the first to depict residents of the state) seems to be that people in the 1987-era Soviet Union were no different than anyone else on this planet. Despite the rigid structure of their government, at the core they were still people with jobs, families, friends, and lives. They are depicted carrying out everyday tasks and mundane activities, as well as having fun and enjoying life.
It's a remarkable book.

A look at the faces and people who comprised the former USSR
9. Januar 1999
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is the very last look at the lifestyles that people lived prior to the end of the USSR. Covering the entire 15 Soviet republics and 11 time zones on May 15, 1987, the book shows how many Soviet Citizens lived their lives. Though lives in rural areas remain very similiar today, major cities as shown in these pictures have changed dramatically. The merits of this book lie in the faces of the people and their aspirations at the height of Gorbachev's push for glasnost and perestrioka.
Pictures vary from Gorbachev himself to workers at a collective in central Russia. Importantly, this book shows how many nationalities of Soviet (Russian Speaking) citizens lived in harmony under the communist system. The reader is taken aback by the simple, even primitive lifestyles of the people. Yet remember, in this society there was no pressure to invest in volatile markets or fear of being laid off without pay. Most people lived under the assumption that the state would provide for them. See if you can notice this feeling in the pictures! This is a good look back at their lives. Enjoy!
