Description
Summary:Left Side (Transport) Title: Транспорт 1927-28 г. (Transport 1927-28) Text: A tractor was made at the factory — it needs to be delivered to the warehouse, to the collective farm. Bread grew in the collective farm fields — it needs to be delivered to the city, to the cooperative. Who will deliver it? Transport: railway, steamship, automobile. Most cargo is transported by rail.

Turning the book over and starting from the back cover, the reader is presented with targets for ten aspects of Soviet industry: electricity, factory construction, iron, coal, oil, the chemical industry, bread production, forestry, transportation, and culture. Laptev illustrates the situation before the implementation of the 1927-28 Five-Year Plan with both the text and pictures. The reader is invited to open the flaps on the pages to unfold the dramatic changes caused by implementation of ...
