Campaigning in the USSR

Visual propaganda in the USSR was very monotonous. Communist shit, little needlework film posters, neat metal letters with neon signboards of shops.

Visual range was so sad that people can wear for years foreign plastic bag - God forbid breaks. Gum wrapper foreign currency was for schoolchildren. She cud - gold. My love of typography began with the pre-revolutionary binder magazine "Niva" for 1903. The year I traded in two stick of gum, which I, in turn, went as a rare gift from someone from relatives. Cud more than twice a year did not happen. The plate itself nobody chewed five minutes - it chewed a couple of days until it begins to decompose at the ingredients. At night cud laid on the table, with her again in the morning to chew. She had no taste, but it was gum!

Author of text and 15 pictures - Subject Lebedev

I still remember how my classmate by the name of the Excellent Khoroshilov at home parrot watered with water from the liner from Buble-GUM. He was in my eyes a major and a criminal. His parents worked somewhere in the trade.

But, about the campaign.

Moscow House of Books, 1967 minutes. Lenin, Brezhnev, portraits of members of the Politburo in the set, a little poster about the Komsomol and builders a bit horrible graphics of some old fart - MOSH members.





Cinema "Art", the poster of the film. 1980 minutes. Please note that no one dressed brightly, it was considered provocative. (And in the south in a sanatorium, even men are not allowed to walk into the dining room in shorts - all the scandal was.)



Pulling on agitpolotna Historical Museum: "Long live the peaceful foreign policy of the USSR Lenin!ยป
All of this style images superman sick, and in the west it was superkrutoy. It turned out that all sorts of bourgeois factories, canteens and airports did not disdain to build panels in this style (or heavily influenced). Generally, a scoop in the West has been very much - a scoop of this could not even think of a joke.



On the other hand. The image of Lenin with newspaper-fly swatter - very common. Every word on posters deep meaning. Not just the peasantry, and the collective farm peasantry. Intellectuals - folk. People should not not good health.



Feat Presnya workers. Generally curious that died during the revolution, now all the shit, and any mention of those killed during the Great Patriotic War (World War II as called before perestroika) today fills the soul memories, and eyes - tears. That is, the military exploits appear modern. And earlier in the same kind to to some underground fighters who killed illegally printing leaflets for the Bolsheviks. 1986 minutes.



Area Nikitskie gate. Right - studio shop. Left - TASS. Instead leavened kiosk flowers now, instead of Marxism-Leninism - permanent exhibition of advertising "Loreal". The grounds are littered with snow - that's what the church is now enclosed with your fence, sidewalk othuyachiv half



Before the Bolshoi Theatre. 1986 minutes.



The end of the hotel "Moscow", which is now completely rebuilt. 1986 minutes. Against the background nobody saw the word "dick", everyone knew that it XXVII Congress of the CPSU. And then it seemed that the word "party" has only one meaning and that word will never be able to find a second meaning. It turned out that the language alive.
An interesting way of women. In Soviet agitation was allowed a few female characters. There was a girl - a schoolgirl; girl - youth, education; something asexual - a friend, a colleague (just drawn here); 50 years old woman with a scarf on the head or on the shoulders - the mother.



Festive decoration of the Bolshoi Theatre. 1986 minutes.



The next year - almost the same. 1987 minutes.



It is difficult to imagine how an entire country could live quietly perceiving all these slogans and portraits. Nobody was surprised no one bullied. Surely, someone burned or threw a jar of ink painted Lenin, but he certainly was in a mental hospital.
Most of all the staff were happy artistic and decoration plants. Dress well - for square footage. 1987 minutes.



Next congress. 1987 minutes. Particularly badly these baskets of flowers - such unmistakable shovels. In the west are still flowers looks overseas, and we have stagnated in this industry will persist.



1990 minutes. The new conditions. Artists and designers the opportunity to express themselves, to throw off the shackles of totalitarian - but all the old generation almost entirely gone to the bottom. Because work and think no one could.



However, the 90th - the most graphically terrible period in the world, not only for us. There are computers, all of them moved, and to work for them, no one knew how. So much shit, but in the 90s, never produced.

1990 minutes. Opened the first McDonald's. At that time there was no joking about that there can go piss, if the toilet is no closer. Stood in line for several hours. There are special boys who earned that brought the bandits parked on the boulevard orders - a proto-makavto. The first McDonald's in the logo was a Soviet flag (in Canada is still the same with the Canadian flag). For the West, this was one of the most significant events. Firstly, always be photographed queue. Second, the Soviet flag under the letter M - it's like on the moon to open a restaurant.



1991 minutes. The collapse of the USSR. School painter afraid to paint Lenin entirely, walked around. "The most humane man" - no one has the ears of this garbage is not withered, somehow.
