This print showcases the Rioni Hydroelectric Power Plant, an iconic symbol of Soviet industrialization and progress. Created by Lissitzky for the book "USSR Builds Socialism" in 1933, this illustration captures the essence of the Goelro Plan – a comprehensive electrification program aimed at transforming Russia into a modern socialist state. The image is a testament to the power of propaganda and political agitation art during that era. Through photomontage and lithography techniques, Lissitzky masterfully combines elements of fine art with graphic design to convey a sense of unity, strength, and collective effort. The towering structure of the power plant dominates the composition, emphasizing its significance in propelling the USSR towards economic prosperity. In this artwork, we witness workers laboring diligently amidst vast machinery and infrastructure. Their presence highlights Lenin's vision for empowering the proletariat through industrialization. The poster not only celebrates their hard work but also serves as an inspiration for others to contribute to building socialism.
