EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in Moscow's history - the inauguration of the metro by none other than Joseph Stalin himself. Taken in August 1935, this image showcases the immense industrialization and progress that was taking place during the Soviet era. Stalin, flanked by his trusted comrade Kaganovitch, stands tall as he inaugurates this monumental underground railway system. The significance of this event cannot be overstated, as it symbolizes not only a major advancement in public transport but also represents the ambitious goals set forth by the Five Year Plans of the Soviet Union. The photo exudes power and authority as Stalin confidently addresses a convention of officials gathered to witness this momentous occasion. His stern expression reflects his determination to transform Russia into an economic powerhouse through these grand infrastructure projects. As we delve into this photograph, we are transported back to an era where communism reigned supreme and collective progress was prioritized above all else. It serves as a reminder of how influential figures like Stalin shaped nations with their vision and leadership. Preserved within the archives at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in Russian history. It is a testament to both photographic artistry and historical documentation that continues to captivate audiences today.
