Check out this beautifully illustrated book of late 1960’s Communist propaganda:
Отзовитесь, марсиане! [
Respond, the Martians!] (1968), by
Pavel Klushantsev, a well-known Russian film director, producer, screenwriter and author. In addition to discussing the science of Mars, the book also compares two classic science fiction novels: the capitalist
The War of the Worlds (1898) by British author H.G. Wells, and the communist
Aelita (1923) by Russian author
Alexei Tolstoy. Pictured here is my favorite illo from
Отзовитесь, марсиане!, a water pumping station on Mars.
