AB  - This article analyses representations of children in the photographs published in the
Soviet propaganda magazine SSSR na Stroike (USSR in Construction), concentrating
on the volumes devoted to different Soviet Socialist Republics. The changes in
the Soviet Union’s nationality policies during the 1930s are clearly visible in the images.
The article begins with classification of the child-related photographs. Next, images
are analysed using representation theory, developed by cultural theorist Stuart
Hall, and the theory of orientalism, presented by literature theorist Edward Said. It is
also considered how the representations of children were used as a part of the Soviet
nation-building process.
