The Bridge publishes a memo from the Exhibitions Department of VOKS (All-Union Society for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries) that was not intended for public release, addressed to a working group (“shock brigade”) set up to intensify VOKS's cultural work abroad in connection with the “Industrial Party” (“Prompartia”) trial - a show trial held in November-December 1930 against a group of Soviet engineers and economists accused of forming a “subversive” organization and having ties to foreign intelligence services. Against this backdrop, the Soviet leadership sought to step up propaganda abroad, showcasing the USSR's achievements. The memo gives concrete recommendations on making the most of exhibitions already sent abroad (children's books, Soviet art, and others), reports on exhibitions being prepared for shipment (including a solo show by Niko Pirosmanishvili), and proposes new large-scale exhibitions, with timelines and budgets specified in rubles, Soviet rubles, and foreign currency.
