Hey!
Looks good, even in black and white, 50 years later.
This extremely rare series of illustrations to various books by Alexander
Kazantsev (one of the first Soviet science fiction writers) shows very
clearly what kind of future the communist dreamers preferred. Think cool
robots, intrepid explorers, brainy scientists, eerily Star Wars-like aliens
and a huge dose of humanitarian optimism.
