What are its chiei aims?
How does it carry on its work, at
home and abroad?
Thcre is undoubtedly a tendency
among ali peoples to study conditions
in foreign countries. But the Soviet
Union, a land of social ism nnder
construction, a land governed by the
proletariate, attracts the attention oi ali
mankind with peculiar force.
At the same time v/e must know
about ali the attainments of foreign
science and engineering.
VOKS represents these two tendencies. It helps foreign countries in their
study of Soviet cultural conditions and
it informs the Soviet Union of the mosl
important phenomena of foreign culture.
The idea of international cultural
relations tramcends lhe limilations of
separate «departments». It can be realised only through a general mobilisation of social forces at home and
abroad. Therefore VOKS has organised
its work on lhe basis of wide public
coopera tion.
What are the forms and inethods
of work used by VOKS in biiiiHiii»
about cultural relations between USSR
and foreign countries?
The first of these — and lhe most
important—is based on lhe printed
word.
THE VOKS MAGAZINE
In order to give systematic information on the Soviet Union VOKS publishcs a magazine, which has mulergonc
considerable evolution during the course
of its cxistence. In the beginning it was
a mimeograph leaflet, afterwards it bccame a Bnlletin, and it now appears
as a large magazine with the word
«V.O.K.S.» printed on the cover. In the
same way its contents have undcrgone
á complete transformation: at íirst,
It consisted of news notes, but now it
is made up of spccial articles and even
series of articles on various questions,
such as the «Turkestan-Siberia Railway», the «Olympiad» and so forth.
The magazine is published In English,
German and French. The press of the
whole world makes use of material
printed in it.
What do foreigners think of the
VOKS magazine?
In the English «Manchester Guardian»
of February 22, 1927, we find: «It
■=»*•
MWPW
is easy to say, and in ali probabilily
it will be said, that these Bulletins,
which describe the cultural lifc and
reconstructibn of Russia, contuin only
Information that the Soviet Government considers desirahle for its own
ends. But an objective analysis of ali
the informalion given in the Bulbítins
would convince even the most suspicious person that this information is
based on actual facts and reflects actual work that is bciug done in the new
Rússia.»
We alrcady have some expressions
of opinion concerning the new VOKS
magazine:
«This magazine is devoted to the economic and cultural construetion of
the Soviet Union. Nowadays, as the
chãos in the East wears away, one can
take stock of the position. The task
accomplished was only possible bccause of the extraordinary tempo and
intensity of the work. Each person interested in the contemporary life of
the Soviet Union (and cverybody oughl
8
to l>e fnterested in it) should subscribe to this magazine» (Própria
C u r e s, the oldest student magazine
in lhe Netherlands. June 17, 1930).
The VOKS sends its magazine to ali
lhe countries of the world and receives
in exchange more than 150 íoreign periodicals.
The contents of the VOKS magazine
touch upon the most important questions in the life of the USSR. Naturajly, the majority of the articles and
sketches are devoted to problems of
public instruetion, to scientific attainmints, to art and proletarian literature.
In the course of 30 mounths (1928—
1930), 359 articles on these subjects
were published. During the same period, 83 articles on economies and
agriculture were published.

SPECIAL ART1CLES
In ordcr to obtain more dctailedinfonnaüon on different subjects, foreign
pcriodicals, scientific and cultural societies, and individuais apply to lhe
VOKS with requesls for various articles. During the period ot 30 months
mentioned above, 520 illustrated articles have been sent abroad.
These articles covered the mostvaried
subjects, including:

The arliclcs of VOKS are made use

reprintcd in full and sometimes abstracts
from them are published. The articles
are written in five languages (English,
ílcmian, French, Russian and Esperanto).
Supplying Material
to
Foreign Periodicals. In response to reqnests from abroad VOKS
i!atliers materiais for si)ecial numbcrs
of various periodicals; among them thc
American magazine «Labor Defender»
(Novcmber, 1929), the Belgian art magazfne «Variété» (March, 1930), the French
magazine «Evolution» (1928), the Scandinavian magazine «Mond» (October,
1929). These numbers were entirely devoted to the Soviet Union.
The most eminent foreign journalists
publish books on the USSR, based on
material obtained from the VOKS. Therc
are already enough books of this sort
to make a fairly large library. VOKS
hclps in the composition of the Soviet
sections in International handbooks of
13
information conccrning lhe most important branclies of science, such as
the Minerva H a n d b o o k, published in Germany.
TRANSLATIONS
Translalions are means oi popularising scientific í,ul cultural knowledge.
VOKS has a slaff of experienced workers
Io translate from ali European languages
into Russian and vice versa, as well as
from many oriental languages into Russian. These translalions cover various
specialties and branches of knowledge,
particularly science and
(edmical
subjects.

EXHIBITIONS
The best method of visual documentation is the exhibition. It reílects the
creative growth oi the Union and refutes
the calumny of our enemies with facts.
The exhibition work of the VOKS
abroad is being carried out both by participation in International exhibitions
and by the organisation of independent
exhibitions of the USSR.
In sending objects abroad for exhibition purposes the VOKS aims to show
them in as many places as possible,
and the same exhibits are forwarded
from one town to another. Thercfore. in
making up the total, one has to reckon
not only the number of exhibitions,
but also the number of places where
they have been shown.

Within the Union eight lorcign exhibitions have been organised, and shown
in 30 towns.
In ali 104 exhibitions in the USSR
and abroad have been arranged, ond
shown in 172 places.
There were 5,'124J980 visitors to the
exhibitions.
The greatest demand is for exhibitions
of Soviet art. But evcn here the loreigner
is above ali interested in exhibitions
that reflect the new topics oi Soviet
art preferring them to the formal art
of the painter or designer.
The opinion cxpressed by T i d e n s
T e g n, in an arlicle entitled «Painting in the Land of Stalin. Propaganda
as art and art as propaganda», about
the exhibition of Soviet art in Nonvay,
is most characteristic.
«The VOKS, which is really an institution of propaganda, has now sent
into the wide world a collection of
original productions of Soviet art.
Art has entercd the service of the
Five-Year Plan» (April 25, 1930).
The same paper says on April 26,
1930:
«The Soviet exhibition tells more
of men, than of painting. It is a political art.»
The Philadelphia Record'
an American paper, evaluates the exhibition organised by VOKS in NewYork in 1928 as follows:
«This exhibition has opened the eyes
of many people, and it compels us to
rcvies our ideas of eonlemporary Rússia. A country which could send out
such an exhibition cannot be in a stete
of disorganisation».
The catholic paper Maasbode in
Holland says: «The Russian communists
are exclusive masters in the art of attracting the interest of western countries
to the results of their new conception
of the world. No propaganda, but only
documentation, — this is the slogan
under which the exhibition has been
arranged» (June 14, 1930. The subj'et
of the article is the exhibition «School
and Every-day Life in the USSR»).
19
18
The programme oi exhibition work,
which began almost exclusively with arl
shows, now includes public instruction,
economics, construction, the press, tours,
and so forth.
Tlierc is much interest abroad in the
Five-Year Plan. VOKS takes this
fact into account, and always shows
material connectcd with the constructive work oi the Five-Year period in its
various phases.
It frequently happens that a VOKS
exhibition appears in a country where
«white emigres» have already shown
a so-called «Russian» exhibition. Then
even the most reactionary press characterises these «Russian» shows as «prerevolutionary humbug», whilst the Soviet exliibits are highly praised.
«The roots of Soviet art reach deep
into the people, and are in striking
contrast to the anaemic art of the emigres who have visited Copenhagen with
thcir miserable exhibitions» (The Danish
paper Werden och vi, July 2,
1930).

BOOK EXCHANGE
The book was the pioneer in the exchange oi cultural values between the
USSR and íoreign countries.
In the beginning more books were
sent than received. But gradually ex21
port and import were balanced. Nowadays many prominent foreign institutions themselves take the initiative
in establishing an exchange with the
USSR.
Our circle of correspondents on the
subject of book exchange both at home
and abroad grows larger year by year:

During the whole period of book exchange 854,246 publications from seventy different countries have been
exchanged. Germany, with 453 correspondents, holds íirst place while the
United States has nearly as many (419).
With regard to volume of exchange,
America oecupies the first place, with
357,437 books. The exchange with Germany amounts to 133,271 volumes.
With passage oi years the problem
of the quantityof books exchanged
gave way to the problem of their q u a-*
1 i t y with regard to subject and contents. The percentage of social and political works forwarded abroad was increased, and at the same time the number of books on engineering and industrial subjects grew larger. Thus, both
partners to the exchange are getting
the books they need.
In order to make its exchange operations efficient, VOKS has established permanent business contacts with
book-exchange centres in ali the largest countries.
«We beg you to accept our sincere
thanks for your assistance», writes the
Geographical Society of Hungary on
March 21, 1929; «we think it our duty
to state that of ali similar foreign institutions with which we are connected,
your íSociety realises its lofty aims
with |the greatest suecess, giving the
closest attention to our needs and carrying out with tireless energy to its
22
23
■ üflaiM m
—i.
work oi mediation between scientific
tinstitutions.»
The volume of the book-exchange is
clearly illustrated by the «norms of
output»: in 1924 three books per hour
passed through the VOKS.and in 1930 —
96 books per hour.
EXCHANGE OF PHOTOGRAPHS
The general development of cultural
and economic achievement in the Unions
is clearly shown by means of photography. VOKS constantly uses this
method oí demonstration, photography
being its regular stand-by in its work.
In 1924, for purposes of photo-exchange
with foreign^ countries, "VOKS organised
«R u s s-P h o t o», the first photographic agency in the USSR. Further
development of the work led to the reorganisation of this agency into a special company — «U n i o n-P h o t o».
24
26
In the period írom 1925 to 1930,
49,619 photographs were taken. The
negatives íorm a valuable fund oi material for study of the USSR and for
cxhibition to foreigners.
The object of «U n i o n-P h o t o» is
to provide photographs for the press
at home and abroad. Photographs relating to the USSR are being sent
abroad to illustrate ali the problems of
the Five-Year Plan, electrification, natural ressources, Soviet industry, collectivisation of agriculture, culture of
various nationalities of the USSR, and
cultural life. Photographs received in
exchange from abroad are turned over
to the Soviet papers. The output of
photographs for the last five years
amounts to 804,265 copies.
Encyclopedias,
special
scientific
works, books of sketches and impressions
of the USSR, are for the most part illustrated by «U n i o n-P h o t o», either
directly or through Its foreign sections,
which include independent sections (in
Gennany, France, Belgium and Hol2V
land) and representativos or agencies
acting under contract. Thus, in Ameaça the representative of «Un i o nP h o t o» is the Hearst News Company
with agencies ali over the world.
This company furnishes photographs
oi the USSR to more than 2,000 pubhcations. The English agency is the
P 1 a n e t News, the Hungarian —
Santo, and so forth.
Besides this photographs are sent
directly to ali interested publications,
institutions, individual scientists, public men and tourists. The VOKS magazine and articles sent abroad are also
illustrated by photographs. Regular exchange of photographs is being carried
on with 24 countries, in the interests
of mutual cultural Information.
28
CULTURAL SERVICE FOR
FOREIGNERS
Foreigners come to the USSR in
order to get immediate knowledge of
the real life of the Soviet Union. Varied
programmes for the study of scientific and cultural problems have been
worked out by the cultural service of
VOKS. Extensivo work is done with
every foreigner in accordance with his
needs and his circle of interests. According to the latest figures, in ali 6,373
foreigners have been served by the
VOKS, these foreigners having made
23,172 visits to the Society. In this
number are included 81 excursions,
with 1,340 persons.
Foreign guests have come trom~ ali
the parts of the world — from 60 different countries. They were people of
varied occupation and social position:
Scientists
21 %
Manufacturers
18%
Writers and Journalists .... 17%

Artists

The impressiona of the foreigners, their
appreciation oí what they have seen and
of the methods used for gett ing them
acquainted with the USSR are often
expressed in letters and statements.
Thus, Albert Valentin, joumalist, and
Robert Serre, assistant in the clinic of
Brussels, state:
«In leaving Rússia we think it our
duty to express our deepest thanks for
the kind hospitality you have shown
us. It has given us the possibility of
getting acquainted with the situation
in your country. Be sure that on our
return to our nativa country we shall
tell of everything we have seen» (December 17, 1927).
30
EVENINGS OF RAPPROCHEMENT
Direct intercoursc belween foreign
guests and the representatives of Soviet culture and social life takes place
at the evening entertainments and meetings organised by the VOKS.
«The great social revolution was an
entirely unintelligible thing for ali the
old world», said the president of the
Czecho-Slovakian delegation Mr Bartoshek at an evening party for cultural
rapprochement on October 20, 1925.
«Here the problem of establishing cultural and economic relations with the
Soviet Union assumes first place. Our
journey is the first step along this
path; we want a movemenf based, not on
imagination, but on concrete knowledge».
At the evening of rapprochement
between the Soviet Union and Germany
(October 11, 1926) the head of the East
Prussian delegation Mr Prayer said:
«It is a great pleasure for each of us
to be in Moscow, and we welcome with
ali our hearts the prospect of a closer
connexion with you. Cultural and economic bonds have long cxisted between
Rússia and East Prússia. Now we should
hke to develop and strengthen thcnr
ali difficulties on this path will have
to bc overcome.»
The subjects treated at the evening
entertainments of the VOKS are mosl
varicd. First place is taken by rq.orls
on scientific questions. whicli were made
at 30% of the whole mimber of meetings.
Oíten subjects are treated extemporaneously. Thus, at the meeting wherc
the Turkish economist Ahnul Munir
Neshid Bey made his report, Khafifa-Khanum, onc of the most progrcssive women of Turkey, was among the
presiding officers, and the dry businessüke report was transfonned in an unexpected way into a declaration of rights
of the women of the emancipated East.
Khafifa-Khanum said:
«I look forward into the future with
hope. I tliink (hat the Turkish woman
m her struggle for elcctoral rights wil]
soon win, as she has won in othcr ficlds.»

countries is being brought near to the
great masses of the workers.

ART
CONNEXIONS
The Soviet art has brilliant achievements to its credit that make it of
peculiar intcrest to foreigners.
What is the cssence of our art shown
abroad? What is so particularly striking about them from the forcigner's
point of view? Undoubtedly it is the
departure from a neutral position to
an active participation in the building
up of socialism — hence, the sharply
defined subjects, the extraordinary saturation with social problems and the
mode of expression peculiar to the proletarian class. These features are immcdiatcly noticed and appreciated by ali
foreigners — not only the parlizans of
the USSR, but even its enemies.
This naturally detcnnined the basic
features of the artistic activities of the
VOKS abroad. VOKS considers it necessary to show the achievements of
art of various nationalities of the USSR
and to exhibit the work of young
artists educated by the Revolution.
The Soviel ro.ierU.iro «broad
36
37
■■■n
These purposes are realised by VOKS
through the organisation of foreign tours
for actors, thealer managers, musicians,
and others.
Any exhibition of Soviet art abroad
is usually followed by lively discussions
in the press.
We shall give some quotations taken
at random:
«The film Old and New may
be considered a master piece. Even with
a subject that allows of no poetical development, we get captivating images
showing astounding powers of expression. Martha Lapkina is a Jeanne d'Are
in her own line — which is getting
tractors» (Review by Gaston Thierry,
P a r i s - M i d i).
The essence of Soviet art is excelJently defined by the well-known journalist Alexander Arnould in an article
about the same film:
«Old and N e w is the most terrible blow ever levelled at the aesthetes» (Pour Vous. December 25,
1929).
39
The performances of ccrtain Soviet
aclors and singers have also met with
general approval. A Riga periodical
writes about the concerts of V. V. Barsova:
«The appearance of the singer was
greeted With thunderous applause. After
each number on the programme, the
applause was redoublcd, intensified, and
rose to a storm of encores, shouts, and
ovations.»
In the meantime VOKS introduces
to lhe Soviet Union the most important
products of foreign culture in the field
of art. To this end, two foreign theatrical troupes have been presented to
Soviet audiences: the Japanesc National
Theatre K a b o u k i, which preserves
the ancient traditions of Far Eastern
art (1928); and the German Revolutionary Theatre of Young Actors
which strives to make the proletariat
of Western Europe familiar with social
subjects (1930).
VOKS has likewise arranged tours
in tlie Soviet Union for many progres40
sive represcntatives of foreign art, especially cinema workers, such as J. Ivens
(Holland), T. Kinougasa and I. Fukuro
(Japan); musicians including O. Downs
(U.S.A.), A. Casella (Italy); of theatre
directors, such as K. Osanaia (Japan),
F. Gémicr (France), L. Simonsen (U.S.A.),
and many others. These foreign guests
have made reports on the art of thcir
respective countries and at the same
time have gaincd a knowledge of Soviet artistic life. Their sojourn in the
USSR will undoubtedly form a foundation of serious and prolonged study
for the artistic connexions cstablished
bv VOKS.
41
SCIENTIFIG
RELATIONS
Scientific and technical relations make
up an important share of the work oi
VOKS. Its aim is to make the experiences of foreign science and engineering
available for the building up of socialism.
VOKS helps Soviet scientific institutions to get from abroad available
Information on latest achievements of
science and technic and selects suitable
scientific technical literature in foreign
languages to be translated and published
in Russian.
At the same time the VOKS passes
on to foreign countries informations
on the state of scientific and technical
work in the USSR, on the activities
of societies and institutes, on the works
of individual scientists, on technical
progress and inventions.
•- VOKS has succeeded in rallying about
it the most eminent of those men of
science who are interested in public
work, as scientific collaborators. More
than three_hundred highly trained spe-

cialists are at work in various sections
and committees of the VOKS. They participate in the organisation ot reports
and lectures by foreign scientists who
offer the benefit of their experience to
the USSR.
Through VOKS the Soviet Union
lias taken part in international scientific conferences such as the Pacific
Confcrence in Kioto, the Meeting of
Historians in Cambridge, the Philosophical Congress in Oxford, the International Meeting of Historians in Oslo.
the International Slavonic Conference
in Prague, and so forth.

«FOREIGN LANGUAGES
FOR THE MASSES»
This is a function of VOKS, which belongs among its scientific-pedagogical
activities, although it does not fali strictly
within the limits of lhe general methods
of our organisation. It includes propaganda among the workers on behalf
of the study of forcign languages, and
aims at internatíonal educatlon, at the
practical utilisation of forelgn scientific and technical experience, and at
the training of skilled workers.
VOKS directs the study of foreign
languages in 349 groups with over 3,000
pupils. The percentage of workmen
among the pupils is gradually increasing.
The majority of the workmen enrolled
are employed in the metal-working and
chemical industries.
For instruction by means of correspondence special «VOKS Columns» are
inserted in the newspapers, and propaganda on behalf of the study of foreign
languaes Is being spread throughout
46
the whole Union in this way. Special
books, manuais and school-books are
published which give not only an elementary knowledge of the various languages, but aid study along special
lines (technical, political, etc).
As the work grows quanütatively,
its quality is constantly being improved. Many of the present teachers are
being retrained, while the whole staff
is being «rejuvenated» by the addition
of young teachers. Courses are also
being opened to train young workers
for service as guides to foreign visitors.
CULTURAL RELATIONS W1TH
THE NATIONS OF THE USSR
The mighty growth of creative powers
in Sovict nationalitics bcars witness
to a tremcndous development in their
cultural life.
VOKS has established a special Bureau of Nationalitics to assure thc^ conncxion bctwccn national cultures, to
ascertain their achievements and to
give publicity to these achievements
abroad. The object of this Burcau is
to regulate the work now being done
by ali the divisions and sections of
VOKS so that their material on the work
of construetion in the Republics and
Tcrritories of our Union might be made
known to the ou ter world.
This object is the key-note of the
whole work of VOKS. In our magazine
about half of the material is devoted
to descriptions of the culture of Soviet
nationalitics. The Photo-Export Department pays particular attention to the
life and customs of separate republics;
48
Whole seclions and shows in lhe VOKS
cxhibitions abroad are fiDéd wilh cxliibils from these republics; and the art
exchange is chiefly concerned with the
art of Soviet nationalitics.
At the present time, a veritable flood
of material of this kind is pouring in
due to the aetive cooperation of the representatives of those nalionalilies whose
cultural atlainments are being shown
abroad by VOKS.
In order to enlarge the field covered
by its work VOKS is extending its
branches throughout the entire territory
Of the USSR. In various republics societies for cultural relations are springing
up. These secieties go about the collection of material on national culture
on lhe spol; they also see to lhe needs
of foreignors who visil lhese republics
and ncquaint them with the ciiUiirul
situation ôf lhe region.
Sueli organisafions exist in the UkrafOe>
in llie Transeaucasian States, and |n
llie WhiteRussianRepublic. The Ukrainian SSR is particularly energelie in
this work. Morcover VOKS has a nuinber of departinents and representaiives
in olher cultural centers, as for instance Leningrad.
Ali thesc inlra-society organísations
cooperate to a fullcr and more universal grasp of the Union's cullures to the
end oi interpreting them in foreign
lands.
THE FOREIGN SOCIETIES FOR RAPPROCHEMENT WITH THE USSR
Abroad the study of Soviet culture
has also assumed the character of a
public enterprise.
The public bodies which carry on
this work abroad are the Societies
for Rapprochement with the USSR which
have been organised on initiative of
promínent men of sclence, art, literature and social circles.
The nuinher of lhese Societies increases every year as is evident from the
following figures:
1923 — 2 societies
192.Í — 7
»
1925—11
•>
1926 — 17
»
1927 — 18
»
1928 — 23
»
1929 — 29
»
1930 — 38
»
These figuns include sections organised by the parent Societies in various
50
towns, in conformity with the general
development of the work. Societies now
exist in 16 countries.
Some of these Societies are chiefly
interested in economic problems, others
are occupied with scientific and artistic
questions, the fonn of their organisation and the character of their work
being to a certain extent determined
by the objecls in view.
The Societies organise their work
with a view to spreading information
on the Soviet Union among broad circles of the population. They organise
reports and lectures of the Soviet scientists and political men who have an
opportunity to visit foreign countries.
Each visit írom a Soviet worker is
utilised by the Societies as a means
of cultural information.
The Societies arrange the exhibitions
sent abroad by VOKS, transporting
them from town to town and initiating
press campaigns about them.
Systematic information on the USSR
is being given by these Societies,
through widcly circulated periodicals,
published in nearly every country.
Individual mcmbcrs of the Societies
have published a number of important
works on the Union, as wcll as speciah
ised books and monographs.
In order to create a living bond of
union, the Societies arrange excursions
into the USSR. Those excursions carry
on prolonged work in acquainting foreigners with different branches of Soviet construetive work. These visits
have given rise to a great number of
arlicles and of reports on present condilions in the USSR and even to motions
in foreign parliaments on the question
of rapprochement with the USSR.
In individual cases the Societies have
taken up the defense of Soviet interests; as, for instance, when the fascists
broke up the jubilee exhibition of the
USSR in Belgium.
The most eminent representatives of
progressive science and public life are
members of these foreign Societies. Every
year new friends of the Soviet Union
are added to their ranks.

Among them Iwe íind A. Einstein,
B. Kcllerinann, iSlephan Zweig, E. Piscator, Sven Hedin, Herbert Wells, Paul
Otlcy, Romain Rolland, André Mason,
Udziaku Akita, and others.
Special scctions and committees are
gradually being formed by the Societies
for the study of difíerent branches of
culture.
The plan oí the Society «Netherlands—
New Rússia» (Holland), one of the youngest Societies (founded in 1928), givcs
a typical idea of the organisalion of
the foreign Societies.
The Societies are distributed among
the various counlrics as follows:
America. American-Russian Institute
for Cultural Relations with the
USSR. New-York. Founded in 1926.
Sections: Philadelphia — founded in
1929, Chicago —in 1929.

The work carried on by VOKS is
becoming wider and dceper throughout,
and new tasks are continually arising
before it; in order to fulfil them satisfactorily we must unite the representatives of Sovlet culture still more
actively and closely with the ideas of
our cultural caoperation with othcr
countries.
