Notes from a Visit to the USSR in 1972
A VISIT to the USSR in May of this year as an Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers delegate to the Popov Society provided the author with a third opportunity to observe progress in television and related fields over a span of 35 years. The purpose of the first visit, a ten-month stay during 1937 and 1938, was to help install RCA monochrome studio and transmitting equipment in a new television center in Moscow. The second tour of duty was in 1959 when a complete color television studio formed one of the most popular exhibits at the American Exposition in Moscow, as reported in the SMPTE Journal.1 This paper draws on experiences from all three visits to present an overall impression of the changes observed, particularly in the fields of television and motion pictures
