Children's Books: "Let Us Take the New Rifles"
This edition of Vladimir Mayakovsky's (1893-1930) poem "Возьмем винтовки новые" ("Let Us Take the New Rifles") was published in 1982. The fact that it clearly states that it is meant for pre-school kids along with the militaristic content makes it both fascinating and horrifying. On the other hand, the outer qualities of the illustrations by Veniamin Losin can hardly be denied.
See all the pages here:

...or here at LiveJournal - KidPix.
If anyone has a translation of the poem, information about the illustrator or other comments. Please, don't be a stranger.

Vintage postcard: World exposition 1937
An interesting postcard from the world exposition - Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne - in Paris 1937. The Nazi-German pavilion on the left placed directly across the Stalin-Soviet pavilion on the right. Talk about premonition of things to come.
Uploaded to Vintage photographs by h rust
The German pavilion was designed by Albert Speer (and sculptor Josef Thorak) and the Soviet pavilion by Boris Mihailovich Iofan (and sculptor Vera Mukhina). Need I say they both were awarded the gold medal?
Please go here for more postcards and photos from the exposition!

Animation: Winnie the Pooh in the Soviet Union
A year ago I uploaded a few snippets of the Soviet made Winnie the Pooh which I thought were truly delightful. And now I'm happy to say that YouTube signature kuba0000 has done the good deed of uploading full episodes in 4 parts. They were made in 1969-1972 by the acclaimed film company Soyuzmultfilm, known for a number of celebrated animations like the series about Cheburashka and short films like Hedgehog In The Fog and The Heron and the Crane (Watch them at Videos With Bibi!).
For your convenience I have collected the Soviet-made Winnie-the-Pooh-episodes into one playlist. (see below). I found them through this article in the blog Think In Pictures where the image of Pooh is discussed. For me Pooh has many faces; I love the originals from the book made by Englishman E H Shepherd, however one can't deny that the Disney version exists in one's conscience but now they have both been joined by the fresh images of the Soviet Pooh. I hope you too will enjoy him, although there are no subtitles. You probably know the stories well-enough to follow. Follow?
PS. You'd better hurry watching it. You never know for how long it'll be available!
