    The youngest first–grader in the USSR, the world champion among young men, a participant in the candidates tournament at the age of 19 - Boris Spassky's rise was rapid. And then fate gave the brilliant chess player a test of strength: he stumbled twice at the decisive moment and remained beyond the threshold of interzonal tournaments ... Only ten years after his first great success, Spassky managed to pass all the qualifying tests and earn the right to a match for the crown, but he failed to defeat the Iron Tigran Petrosian the first time. It took three more years of super–efforts: by Sisyphus he rose again to the foot of Olympus and did not miss a second chance - in 1969 he became the Tenth king of chess! An essay about the life of Boris Vasilyevich and his sporting path full of ups and downs was written by Dmitry Oleynikov, Candidate of Historical Sciences, curator of the Chess Museum of the Chess Federation of Russia. 70 beautiful and instructive games of Spassky were commented on by the champion of Russia in 1993, the famous author and theorist grandmaster Alexey Bezgodov, as well as grandmaster Dmitry Kryakvin and FIDE master Steve Giddins. The preface was written by the 14th world champion Vladimir Kramnik. For a wide range of chess fans.

    Antique Soviet Book:  Author: Gollerbach E. F.  Title: Porcelain of the state factory.  Binding: Soft  Published: Moscow, 1922  56 pages with 8 pages of illustrations.  Condition: closer to the good, front cover and closer to the good, front cover and foretitle separately, snatches  Graphics by I. F. Rerberg and S. V. Chehonin. Edited by I. Lazarevsky.  The book tells about the "new" post-revolutionary life of the Imperial porcelain factory. On June 28, 1918, after the publication of the decree of the Council of people's Commissars on the nationalization of large enterprises, the Imperial Porcelain Factory was renamed the State Porcelain Factory. The plant was given the task of "becoming a supplier to all the people". In August 1918, S. V. Chehonin was elected artistic Director of the GFZ. His creative and business skills were highly valued by Narkompros and Lunacharsky. By that time, Chekhov was known as a well-known book graphic artist, expert and master of miniatures, one of the best specialists in ceramics. As early as 1917, he became one of the prominent employees Of the Department of education Of the People's Commissariat of education. As history shows, the appointment of Chekhov was a very reasonable step of the Soviet government – the ideas of the new system, the pathos of the ideas of the Revolution interested the artist and gave him a push in the right direction. Chekhov and the artists under his command can be called the fathers of Soviet propaganda porcelain. In fact, agitation porcelain is the main focus of this book. к368
