Soviet Siberia by E. Klenov and G.
Paderin. Hardcover book with pictorial boards (no dust jacket)
published by Progress Publishers Moscow 1970, unpaginated with colour
and black and white photographs.
May this little Siberian sleep soundly
and never know the horrors of war. When he grows up he’ll be able
to choose from any number of peaceful occupations in his home region.
What’ll he be?
He’ll have at his disposal science
laboratories, the outposts of progress, to be found everywhere from
the southern mountains to the Arctic Tundra.
The Siberians have always been richly
endowed with artistic talent. But whereas the great nineteenth
century painter from Krasnoyarsk Vasily Surikov had to go to European
Russia to make his name, fame had come to this young inhabitant of
today at home. His original sketches have earned him first prizes at
international exhibitions.
