Description
The cultural vitality of Moscow in the early years of the Soviet Union is the focal point of this tourist map, issued around 1938 by Michael Getmanski.
Appropriately, sites of the Soviet state are numbered in red, but these comprise only a small portion of the numbered locations within the map. The majority is made up of theaters (38), museums (18) and monuments (11), in addition to train stations and hotels. The Head Office of Intourist, the publishing organization, is also noted.
Intourist was created in 1929 to promote the USSR’s image overseas. Prior to the outset of the Cold War, Stalin’s Russia was by no means a closed country.
Many Western visitors arrived by way of special delegations, trade groups, or other “specialized” means. But the issue of this map represents a concentrated effort to appeal and embrace a broader market of tourism within the Soviet Union.
Getmasnki was a graphic artist and illustrator who designed book covers and illustrations for magazines and children’s books as well as a travel guide to the Soviet Union issued by Intourist in 1936.
This map was also issued in a French language version.
