78 propaganda posters of the USSR 1919-1989. from the collection of Duke University

The years of the USSR are a very interesting, eventful, but at the same time difficult and ambiguous period in the history of our homeland. With the advent of Soviet power, life in Russia literally turned upside down. Everything that the people lived before — religion, way of life, principles — was destroyed and destroyed. For the Russians, a new era has come with new values ​​and rules that the newly proletarian government did not tire of instilling and imposing. The "laws" of the new life, in which communism reigned and the working class rejoiced, are perfectly reflected in the extensive selection of Soviet propaganda and propaganda posters created between 1919 and 1989.
