This 1922 essay by S.M. Lunin, "Greek Theatre," is a notable example of early Soviet provincial publishing dedicated to classical cultural history. Issued in Vologda by the regional branch of the State Publishing House (Gosizdat) during the challenging years following the Civil War, this book reflects the enduring interest in classical antiquity amidst the new revolutionary culture. The work provides an accessible scholarly overview of ancient Greek theatre, covering its origins, playwrights, and architecture. The publication is distinguished by its original illustrated publisher's paper wrappers, a characteristic feature of early Soviet book design. With a modest print run of 2,000 copies, this volume is a rare testament to the decentralized cultural and educational efforts of the early 1920s, making it a valuable collectible for historians of Soviet publishing, classical reception studies, and bibliophiles interested in regional imprints.
