Left Side (1932-33 Pig Iron) Title: [No specific title provided] Text: The hunger for pig iron is terrible for industry. Our factories need a lot of metal. We need to give the country pig iron! 20 large blast furnaces and steel plants will be built in the five-year plan. The production of pig iron will increase sixfold. At the end of the five-year plan, 17 million tons of pig iron will be produced per year. The five-year plan will eliminate the hunger for pig iron! Right Side (1932-33 Coal) Title: [No specific title provided] Text: At the end of the five-year plan, the mines will produce 120 million tons of coal per year — more than three times the previous amount. Industry will be provided with fuel. Most of the coal is mined in the Donbas. There, in the deserts and steppes, 60 new mines will be built. During the civil war, the miners left the Donbas. Many workers died on the front. The country will not forget the fallen miners. They conquered the five-year plan!

5 ПЯТИЛЕТКА (5 Five-Year Plan. Drawings and Layout by A. Laptev.)
Pub Note:
"A fine copy of this rare complex Constructivist panorama produced by A.M. Laptev, a gifted Soviet avant-garde graphic artist and graduate of VKhUTEMAS-VEKhUTEIN. Created to promote the vast industrial progress of Stalin's Five Year Plan through maps, charts, "Isotypes" and flaps that fold out to form an engaging visual essay on the then current economic state of the USSR. The panorama can be read in two directions: "The reader finds three maps: one for the electrification of the country, the second for the construction of factories, and the last for the collectivization of farms. Through these maps, young readers become familiar with a synchronic view of the Five-Year Plan ... Turning the book over and starting from the back cover, the reader is presented with targets for ten aspects of Soviet industry: electricity, factory construction, iron, coal, oil, the chemical industry, bread production, forestry, transportation, and culture. Laptev illustrates the situation before the implementation of the 1927-28 Five-Year Plan with both the text and pictures. The reader is invited to open the flaps on the pages to unfold the dramatic changes caused by implementation of the Five-Year Plan in each of these industries" (Duda, Adventures in the Soviet Imaginary, U. of Chicago exhibition 2011, No. 1)."
