Comradely Objects by Yulia Karpova

This book offers a new perspective on the history of Soviet design. It argues that the comradely objects of Russian productivism were not just shabby copies of western commodities they were agents of progressive social relations with a discernible inheritance from the 1920s avant-garde. -- .

'Through exploring everyday objects, Karpova offers an accessible means of understanding the complex world of late Soviet design'
Museum Worlds

'In this thoroughly researched, lucidly written, and well-illustrated book, Yulia Karpova illuminates the history of design in post-Stalinist Russia. [...] Throughout her study, Karpova unearths a number of such transformations, thereby adding significant nuances to the field of Soviet art history, history of design, and study of material culture.'
The Russian Review, Masha Kowell, Los Angeles, CA
