Abstract
This study uses a propagandistic monthly SSSR na strojke (USSR in Construction) as one of the possible useful research sources of Soviet propaganda and its topics. Soviet propaganda managed to create at the time between the two world wars an idealistic image of USSR as an avant-garde of social establishment.
It was mainly the visual propaganda where new techniques of Soviet art avant-garde were implemented and thanks to them it was possible to create an unreal image of Soviet reality, or at least to idealize the reality a bit. Mechanisms changing the reality as well as used photomontages played an important part when the foreign recipients created an image of USSR.
Without a deeper knowledge of hidden aspects of reality, their positive perception of Soviet regime led in many cases to adoption of left-wing ideas, represented by USSR.
