"The “Maxim Gorky” aeroplane was the biggest in the world in 1934, with a wing span about the same as a Boeing 747. A flying propaganda machine, it had on board a rotary press capable of printing 10,000 copies an hour, a lab for developing aerial photos, a radio station, library and a cinema screen that could be unfolded on the ground and was big enough for 10,000 people to see clearly. It flew to remote parts of the Soviet Union to bring the message of socialist technical prowess. And in 1935 it crashed during a show over Moscow, killing more than 40 people: a tragedy, but also a potent metaphor for the limitations of Soviet utopianism." Edwin Heathcote in the FT
