A echarming miniature propaganda edition (2cm*3 cm), published circa the 1965 late 70s: an accordion-fold photo album featuring an endearing sequence of images of Lenin as a child, followed by the well-known portrait of the youthful Lenin whose resemblance to Leonardo DiCaprio has long delighted collectors and commentators alike. Produced with a distinctive metal binding, the booklet exemplifies the inventive and often playful craftsmanship of late-Soviet souvenir publishing. The photographs, though small in scale, are sharply printed and arranged in a pleasing continuous fold, typical of accordion or garmoshka formats of the period. The metal covers, unusually robust for an item of this miniature type, have preserved the contents remarkably well. The price 90 kopeks is printed on the reverse of one of the photographs. Overall, the piece survives in very good condition and remains a highly collectible example of Soviet-era miniature visual propaganda.
