EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Soviet-era map titled "Map of the Far East of the USSR, Northern China (Manchuria) and Mongolia, 1930." Created by an unknown artist, this map was undoubtedly intended to serve a propaganda purpose. The top and bottom sections are adorned with powerful slogans such as "For the strengthening of the military-sanitary fund of the Red Cross" and "Citizens of the USSR must remember the Chinese adventure of 1929," emphasizing both military preparedness and historical events.
The map itself provides a comprehensive depiction of international borders, administrative divisions within the USSR, population centers, railroad stations, and roads. A schematic inset in the lower right corner focuses on southern China. This detailed cartographic representation offers valuable insights into geographical features and transportation networks during that era.
Flanking either side of this intriguing map are portraits; one is V.K. Bliukher, an esteemed Soviet military commander who tragically fell victim to Stalin's Great Purge in the 1930s. The other portrait depicts Comrade Simanovskii—an enigmatic figure about whom little information is available.
This photograph print from Heritage Images not only captures a significant piece of history but also highlights various themes including aid efforts, armed forces' role in defense, railway infrastructure development for transport purposes, territorial boundaries shaping geopolitical landscapes between Russia (then known as USSR), Northern China (Manchuria), and Mongolia.
As we delve into this image's rich details—its colors reflecting its time—the viewer gains insight into early twentieth-century cartography while contemplating how propaganda played a crucial role in shaping public opinion during that period.
