Spomenik Monument Database by Donald Niebyl.

The ultimate publication about these unique monuments – a historical reference, photography and guide book in one. A fold-out map on the reverse of the dust jacket shows the exact location for each of the 81 individual spomeniks using GPS coordinates.

Extensively photographed and researched by the author, it is the first publication to record details of each structure’s complex history, design and construction, as well as their current status. It is the most comprehensive survey of this obscure and fascinating architectural phenomenon.

PROPAGANDOPOLIS by Bradley Davies
A visual testament to the enduring potency of propaganda, presenting over a century of incredible images from 62 countries – created by governments, their enemies and others, in an attempt to sway minds, shape narratives and enforce ideologies.

From the introduction by Robert Peckham .official :
Authoritarian states invariably loom large in Propagandopolis since propaganda is closely associated with totalitarianism: fascist Italy, N**i Germany, the Soviet Union, communist China, and North Korea. ‘History stopped in 1936,’ George Orwell once observed, the year that Stalin launched the Great Purge, and the Spanish Civil War began. ‘Early in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper,’ Orwell wrote, ‘but in Spain, for the first time, I saw newspaper reports which did not bear any relation to the facts, not even the relationship which is implied in an ordinary lie.’ History was no longer being written ‘in terms of what happened but of what ought to have happened according to various “party lines”’. George Orwell, ‘Looking Back on the Spanish War’ (1943).

‘The preposterous history of propaganda art – a globe-spanning selection of visual persuasions from the early 20th century to now is a travelogue to disinformation’s past.’

‘Translating society’s fears and worries into graphic designs, Propagandopolis presents the anxieties of contemporary society in the form of propaganda posters created for government or anarchist campaigns.’

“Not great, not terrible.”
This is a poster we designed just before the first Covid lockdown in March 2020. These are the words spoken by Anatoly Dyatlov (played by the late Paul Ritter) in the miniseries Chernobyl, after receiving increasingly dangerous dosimeter readings. Dyatlov survived the explosion at the Nuclear Power Plant on 26 April 1986, but was imprisoned for his role in the disaster. His health was severely impacted by the massive dose of radiation he sustained and he died of heart failure in 1995.
