A rare piece of Soviet-era political history, The World Hails Twentieth Anniversary of the Soviet Union is a commemorative anthology published in Moscow in 1938 to mark two decades since the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. The volume presents a curated collection of international tributes, speeches, and writings from global figures and movements, all united in celebrating the establishment and growth of the Soviet state. Deeply propagandistic in tone, it chronicles the USSR's self-image as a beacon of socialist progress, reflecting the ideological fervour of the Stalinist era at its height. The text serves as a fascinating primary historical document, illustrating how the Soviet Union projected its power and sought international legitimacy on the world stage during the interwar period. For historians, collectors, and students of Cold War origins and communist ideology, this volume offers an invaluable and unfiltered window into the political atmosphere of 1930s Soviet Russia.
