Soviets Drawings by Danzig Baldaev Photographs by Sergei Vasiliev Damon Murray Stephen Sorrell Sergei Vasiliev Danzig Baldaev 9780956896278 Books Reviews

• Danzig Baldaev's illustrations are awesome and he pulls no punches when it comes to life in the Soviet Union Russian chauvinism, rampant alcoholism, fossilized bureacrats, worker inefficiency, mass shortages, perestroika, and the fate of the Soviet Afghan vets. The drawings can be ugly at times (especially when depicting many of the communist leaders as "zionists") but that is an unfortunate effect of totalitarianism when the state lies about so many things EVERYTHING it says is suspect. The photos are a nice counterpoint to the illustrations, showing the Soviet's self-image.
• Interesting book, good to know briefly the situation in the soviet era
• If you like the other books by this author(Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopedia, and Gulag), then you will like this.
