Drawing on a vast range of little-known texts, Emma Widdis offers a unique cultural history of the early Soviet period. In particular, she shows how films projected the new Soviet map onto the great shared screen of the popular imagination.
?This is a fascinating and pathbreaking study that charts a whole new approach to early Soviet culture, focusing on film and its role in the making of the Soviet nation. It is a pleasure to read.??Svetlana Boym, Harvard University
?Widdis draws on an extensive range of materials. . . . She uses a unique approach to the study of cultural history. . . . Widdis brings her material to life by providing wonderful illustrations. . . . A sound bibliography and an extensive filmography. . . . Most importantly Widdis offers a unique and interesting approach. . . . The book is useful for scholars and students of the Soviet period, film studies, or cultural studies.??Aleksandra Fleszar and Arna Bronstein, Slavic and East European Journal
?[Widdis] has carried out her assignment with buoyancy and aplomb. . . . [She] provides much food for thought. . . . [The] text . . . is as visionary as it is rigorous.??John E. Bowlt, Slavic Review
"A helpful introduction to the Soviet visual culture of the 1920s-1930s. The monograph's straightforward, clear language and the extensive bibliographical apparatus can make it a useful textbook for students and researchers of the period."?Utopian Studies
