Soviet Posters PullOut Edition Maria Lafont Sergo Grigorian 9783791381107 Books Reviews

• Incredible quality posters made of heavy card stock with perforated edges for clean removal. I plan on getting them laminated for years of use.
• A great purchase, no regrets 5/5
• Probably I did a mistake ordering this book since it is only some posters to be framed and not a book about soviet posters.
• This set of twenty-two “pull-out and keep” posters printed on heavy stock art card, features Soviet-style propaganda from 1894 onwards. It will be welcomed by universities, high schools and other educators who wish to teach students about the heavy-handed enslavement tactics employed by perpetrators of Marxism and Communism. They are ideal for classroom participation as they can be handed around and will not bend easily. Everything on the posters is presumably in the Russian language, so will be better interpreted by those with a background in Russian. The bold and chunky artwork is astonishingly cold and brutal scenes of soldiers marching with bayonets, a Russian peasant dancing in a red dress against a darkened sky, images of Lenin, Marx, Stalin and other Russian revolutionaries exhorting people to uprising, gruesome imagery of bloody fingers being cut with scissors, depictions of heavy artillery, war machines, scythe and sickle symbols employed in worker propaganda tempered by scenes of Russian cosmonauts in space as a show of achievement, all blended in with depictions of somberly marching progress, iron chains, and giant industrial works. The coloring on these posters alternates between bright and dark to suit what is depicted by the uniformly gloomy images. Other target audiences for these posters may include graphic artists, historians, museums, journalists, researchers, film makers, political parties and anarchists.
