Check out this cache of Propaganda Images from Soviet
Magazines. Some of them are really beautiful, some of them are a little kitschy, some of them are truly idealistic,
and some of them are incredibly frightening. All of them are interesting though. And you have to say this for them:
they really knew how to use the color red! (There's something really luxurious about the flags—see the image at
right—which seems somehow antithetical to the communist doctrine. Or perhaps this is the luxury promised to all?)
