The book offers insights into the evolution of collage techniques in Russia over seven decades, reflecting the dynamic interplay between art and politics during this period.​

It also explores the evolution of collage as an artistic and political tool across seven decades of Russian history. Soviet artists, influenced by the revolutionary ideals of the early 20th century, used photomontage and collage to create bold, propaganda-driven works that aligned with the state’s vision. As Soviet control over artistic expression tightened, collage became a subversive medium, allowing artists to challenge authority through abstraction and visual juxtaposition. The book showcases works from constructivist pioneers to late-Soviet experimentalists, reflecting how political upheaval, censorship, and shifting ideologies shaped the artistic landscape in Russia throughout the 20th century.
