Black&white film photograph shot in Nowa Huta, Krakow. This neighborhood is one of the largest planned socialist realist settlements or districts ever built, and a notorious example of deliberate “social engineering…Socialist in content, nationalist in form.” Nowa Huta was architected as a colossal center of heavy industry by the Soviet Union, and populated by Polish industrial workers at the Vladamir Lenin Steelworks, which opened nearby in 1954.
