Inscriptions

The Five-Year Plan, which is turning our country into an invincible stronghold of socialism, and the ever-deepening economic crisis in capitalist countries are causing all of the capitalist world to fiercely attack the Soviet Union. These attacks focused above all on our foreign trade under the slogan of the fight with Soviet "dumping." The bourgeoisie, stunned by the dizzying success of the Five-Year Plan, is trying to deceive working people and the petty bourgeois population of their countres with hypocritical cries about Soviet dumping, which is the fact that we allegedly are exporting our goods below cost. At the same time, the bourgeois press is shouting about the fact that in the Soviet Union "forced labor" is used, which also allegedly giving us the possibility of exporting cheaper goods and especially wood materials. The best response to this additional defamation is given by the working class of the USSR, developing socialist competitions and shock work, strengthening the rate of socialist consteruction. \r\nIn our exports of goods abroad, the forest plays an important role. We can receive equipment for our factories in exchange for wood. The Leningrad region, the Karelian republic, and most importantly, the Northern territory are the "wood shops" of the USSR, giving a large portion of all exported products - wood. The matter of honor for forestry workers, collective farmers, logging workers, is to fulfill and surpass the plan for logging and exporting wood. \r\n\r\nLL: OGIZ-IZOGIZ, Moscow & Leningrad, 1932\r\nLR: [printing information]\r\npicture by the artist N.
