It seems I am presently the only one here who remember these propaganda specimens in action. Some of these were still on display when I was a boy, in the sixties, and I do remember them. That is why I still cannot look at them without a certain emotions being elicited in me. I would call these emotions a mixture of dense boredom and the feeling of absurdity

Both were fully totalitarian systems after all, hence the similarity. When Nazi Foreign Minister Ribentropp visited Moscow in 1939 to work out the Ribbentropp- Molotov Pact (the one about partitioning Poland), we said he felt like at home.

Quite interesting. A poster in Russian, designed to attract slave workers from the Soviet Union.
