March 1933 (No. 3) issue of USSR In Construction. Cover is in red, text in blue and white. The cover reads "USSR in construction / the sixteenth year of the revolution / 3 / the state publishing union of RSFSR". Focus of this issue is the history and contemporary industrialization of the Volga river, moving south through major Soviet settlements from Yaroslavl to Astrakhan to describe their "czarist" past and socialist future. A number of pages pre- and antecedent to the geographical section discuss the region in general. The interior is printed in black and white, aged to sepia. Photos are primarily of landscapes, buildings, products of manufacture, and a variety of laborers. Nautical themes are also obviously prevalent.
