Widdis, Emma, 'Exploring', Visions of a New Land: Soviet Film from the Revolution to the Second World War (New Haven, CT , 2003; online edn, Yale Scholarship Online, 31 Oct. 2013), https://doi.org/10.12987/yale/9780300092912.003.0005, accessed 28 Apr. 2025.
Abstract
This chapter explains that the dynamic exploration of the Soviet space was not only carried out in film, but also in print media. Vorkug sveta, a journal on travel, discovery, and adventures, embodies such dynamic exploration, as it explained how the proletariats were changing the world around them and transforming the towns in the Soviet landscape with socialism. The project of cultural exploration is also one of modernization; from 1928 to 1931, Russia experienced a massive transformation and its modernization efforts were fuelled by a vision of decentralization.
