IZOSTAT
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
IZOSTAT (ИЗОСТАТ) (Russian: Всесоюзный институт изобразительной статистики советского строительства и хозяйства) was the 'All-union institute of pictorial statistics of Soviet construction and economy'.
Otto Neurath was invited to Moscow to set up the institute in 1931. The institute was located in 9 Blo'shoi Komsomol'sky pereulok.[1] Neurath's collegus Gerd Arntz and Peter Alma also spent time working at IZOSTAT between 1931 and 1934.[2]
They used statistics from data on Five Year Plans to create infographics. In 1932 they published Pictorial statistics and the Vienna Method (Изобразительная статистика и венский метод) by Ivan Petrovich Ivanitskii who applied the Vienna Method.[3] The organisation was shut down in 1940[3]
