The Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic 1987: Photos,
Culture, Economy, History & more -- Socialist Republics of the Soviet Union
Series
In the mid-1980s the Soviet press agency Novosti released a
series of small books looking the USSR's 15 republics. Each book dealt with a
republic's history, culture, development, industry, agriculture, etc. They
provide a fascinating look at the Soviet Union's accomplishments and plans. The
series was known as the "Socialist Republics of the Soviet Union".
Over the coming months we will be taking a look at these
books and the republics. The books will be slightly edited for length and
repetition in some cases and the photographs and illustrations will be
dispersed more evenly throughout the text.
