Mining and Miners in the Soviet Union

Growing the output of raw materials was one of the highest priorities in post-war Soviet Union, be it coal, steel, aluminium, cement etc. Consequently, artists were encouraged and commissioned to depict the plans and the feats in the mining industry in the art.
