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.
