Chamishah Chumshei Torah - Sepher Bereishith [Book of Genesis, with rabbinic commentaries].

<<Likely the first Jewish text issued in the newly formed Soviet Union.>> This edition of the Chumash was issued in Moscow, immediately after the October Revolution, the beginning of a very trying period in Russian-Jewish history. The publishing house Omanut was headed by Rosalia Gillelovna Zlatopolsky (Shoshana Persitz, 1892-1969), an activist associated with Tarbut, the movement dedicated to the dissemination of Hebrew culture. One of just a very few editions of the Chumash printed in the Soviet Union.
