Description: Vintage Soviet-era travel guides for the USSR, at a time when this vast empire was locked in the late phase of the Cold War with the United States, still largely closed off to the West. But there was a small tourist industry that catered to visitors from Europe and North America, mostly cultural-exchange groups & left-leaning peace activists.Includes a really nice, handy hardcover guide to Moscow, the capital & largest city in the Soviet Union, home to beautiful museums, churches and many handsome buildings from the Tsarist era, as well as numerous monuments to the city’s more recent communist days & a spectacular subway system (with museum-quality train stations that are the gold standard in the world’s top mass-transit services). This guidebook also includes a detached street map. (from Progress Publishers, 1979); and a nice, colorful brochure (“Visit the USSR in Winter!”), highlighting the Soviet Union’s wintertime attractions (cultural events in Leningrad & Moscow, outdoor winter sports in the hinterland), a time of year when foreign travel is more rare than in the warmer months (from Intourist, circa 1980).
