Soviet Union
 From the site:
In the 1930’s, the Soviet government wanted the world to believe it was living the dream: rapid modernization, economic miracles, etc. To support this cause, it created the magazine USSR in Construction, home to some of the most innovative graphic design of the past century.
The magazine was published in Russian, English, French, German, and Spanish editions and exported to the West in order to send a message about Soviet economic success (with no mention of the unsavory truth of Stalinism: persecution, state terror, famine, etc.). Each one was devoted to a specific topic, like aviation, the army, coal mining, etc.
The issues became aesthetic adventures in the hands of designers like El Lissitzky and Aleksandr Rodchenko. They created a new breed of publication—an avant-garde amalgam of minimal text, larger-than-life photography, photomontages, complex gatefolds, pop-ups, and more.
A gallery of compiled images from the magazine are provided via the link. Previously:
