Excerpt from Bookvica Russian Antiquarian Books:

[Soviet Photo] regularly organized the photography competitions reflecting the socialist life. It was not limited to the successes in construction, radio engineering and aviation. One of the major stream in propaganda demonstrated how the women were involved in the building of Soviet future. The remarkable changes occurred in the Soviet Central Asia and the photographers sought to show that portraying the women on the streets. An important part of propaganda art was a photomontage which the edition spread among amateur photographers. ''The photomontage technically raised with revolution'', written in the article on this topic and confirmed that with two photomontages depicting pioneers and worker's club. Another kind of propaganda art was a photo caricature that could surpass the drawn one. The magazine presented the bold creative experiments in this sphere and enlighted the readers how they should make it. An interesting edition presents a common photography as a tool increasing the labor enthusiasm of the broad proletarian masses.
