Stalin, Joseph. Three Speeches.
Moscow : Partizdat of the CC of the CPSU(b), 1935.
207 pp. ; 12x8 cm. Hardcover, miniature (pocket) format. 

This 1935 miniature edition is a significant lifetime publication of Joseph Stalin, issued by Partizdat during the mid-1930s as a portable ideological manual for Party cadres. The volume compiles three of Stalin's most consequential speeches from the early 1930s, documenting the radical socio-economic transformation of the Soviet Union during the First Five-Year Plan. The collection includes "The Results of the First Five-Year Plan," "On Work in the Countryside," and his famous "Speech at the First All-Union Congress of Collective Farm Shock Workers." These texts collectively outline the official victory of the socialist offensive over "capitalist elements," the completion of the foundational industrial base, and the forced transition to collective farming. In this study, the text provides a deep typological analysis that offers a deep dive into the internal logic of the High Stalinist political discourse, including the arrangement of directives for rural reorganization and the mobilization of the "shock worker" (udarnik) labor movement.
The physical presentation of the book is notable for its miniature format (12x8 cm), designed specifically for the pockets of revolutionary activists and military officers to ensure constant access to the leader's words. The cover was designed by the prominent graphic artist Nikolai Sedelnikov, a master of Soviet book design who often blended constructivist principles with the emerging aesthetics of Socialist Realism. His layout for this volume reflects the austere, disciplined visual language of the Party's central publishing house. As a 1935 imprint, this edition captures the era's transition toward the total centralization of authority and the formalization of the Stalinist cult of personality. To ensure its status as a definitive ideological reference, the book was produced with a durable hardcover, allowing it to withstand the rigors of field use in the "socialist construction" sites across the USSR.
For historians of the Soviet Union, collectors of Staliniana, and bibliophiles interested in constructivist book design, this pocket edition is an essential primary source. It serves as a portable witness to the political rhetoric used to justify the Great Break and the massive upheaval of the Soviet peasantry, representing a peak period of Stalin’s legislative and oratorical influence.
