1st Ural State Lithography Workshop, Ekaterinburg

1-я Уральская Государственная Литография, Екатеринбург

The 1st Ural State Lithography was located in Ekaterinburg, a city east of Moscow. In 1924 Ekaterinburg was re-named Sverdlovsk in honor of Yakov Mikhailovich Sverdlov (1885-1919) who lived in the city prior to the Russian Revolution. Sverdlov was the Chairman of the Central Executive Committee of Soviets from 1917 to 1919.

PP 788: Only children of capitalists were admitted to bourgeois schools…
They and only they always had their tasty breakfast.
The United School of Labor has opened wide its doors to all the little citizens of Soviet Russia.
And hot breakfasts and lunches for them are prepared by the solicitous hand of Soviet power.
