This poster propaganda was made after the soviets invaded Poland. In the poster, a desperate Polish Man is kissing a Russian Soldier who has saved him. At the top of the poster is a Russian text that translates into " Our Army is an army that liberate workers."

By the man's facial expression you can tell that the man is very thankful and compassionate for the Soldiers's work. This shows the contrast in today how someone would view this as gay rather then a man showing gratitude.

This is a link to a soviet propaganda poster that really struck me because of the coloring and the lighting. The poster is of a man looking heroic in front of the sickle and axe symbol for communism. I think that the use of red and illuminating white makes this picture really stand out and it emphasizes the heroic aspect of the man in front of the symbol.

I like this poster because it doesn't seem like a typical political poster. It has many bright and happy colors, and it just looks like something that you would see in a regular art gallery or something. I like how the faces are too, they look like they are in negative or something. it is very pretty and eye catching, and it sends a message at the same time which is a nice job.

Soviet Propaganda Poster -- "Let's accomplish the plan of great deeds!"

This poster, from 1930, is especially powerful, even though it has a fairly simple layout. A red

background is used to symbolize communism, while the repeated image of hands conveys unity in accomplishing such a "plan of great deeds" - communism. This poster says a lot about how the Soviet government wanted to run its union, using only a few words and simlple images.

Petrograd (St. Petersburg) Zoo

Soviet posters were not all about factories and fighting the bourgeois. This funky poster goes on to explain in some detail all the fine facilities of the Petrograd (St. Petersburg) Zoo. The Zoo has received a lot of new animals in 1930.

This poster is so funny! It shows how the comunist intimidates the people into doing what they want.
