IZOSTAT 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 Bol'shoi Komsomol'sky pereulok. Neurath's collegus Gerd Arntz and Peter Alma also spent time working at IZOSTAT between 1931 and 1934.
They used statistics from data on Five Year Plans to create infographics. In 1932 they published Pictorial statistics and the Vienna Method by Ivan Petrovich Ivanitskii who applied the Vienna Method. The organisation was shut down in 1940
