Posted on by

Here’s our lit­tle some­thing for your Mon­day — a com­pi­la­tion of Time mag­a­zine cov­ers with a USSR focus, 1925 — 1991. The promi­nent Soviet and Russ­ian politi­cians, gov­ern­ment lead­ers, poets, com­posers, writ­ers, philoso­phers, sci­en­tists, astro­nauts, dis­si­dents, admi­rals and a few dic­ta­tors — the list of 110 remark­able cit­i­zens of the Soviet Union; those who made the West cringe — or laugh for that matter.

The faces are cer­tainly repet­i­tive, yet some cov­ers are a piece of art –this col­lage is worth a good look, so click on the flash bit below, zoom in and explore.

If you would like to learn more please do not hes­i­tate to click the fancy carousel. Thanks for being with us.
