Note
El Lissitzky Retrospektive 260f; Lissitzky-Küppers p.96ff; Parr/ Badger p.148-149: "Any discussion of the soviet propaganda photobook of the 1930s must begin not with an individual book, but with a magazine. Between 1930 and 1940, USSR in Construction employed the best Soviet photojournalists and graphic designers. (...) They were undoubtely the best in their field, and the very nature of the magazine, a lavishly produced monthly published in four separate editions - Russian, English, German and French (and later, Spanish) - ensured that the magazine's editorial offices became a hothouse of ideas."
