Visual agitation (15 pics + text)

tema wrote in his LiveJournal:

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



Visual imagery was so sad that people can wear for years foreign plastic bag - God forbid breaks. Gum wrapper foreign currency was for students. She cud - gold. My love for typography began with the pre-revolutionary filing magazine "Niva" for 1903. The year I traded two stick of gum, which I, in turn, got as a rare gift from someone from relatives. Gum 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 put on the table, in the morning it again chewed. She had no taste, but it was chewing gum!

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 Book House, 1967 th. Lenin, Brezhnev, portraits of members of the Politburo in the set, a bit of posters about the Komsomol and builders, horrible little graphic of some old fart - MOSH members.



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



Pulling on agitpolotna Historical Museum: "Long live peace-loving Leninist foreign policy of the USSR!ยป
All of this style image 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 a style (or greatly influenced). Generally, scoop the West was very much - in the scoop of this could not think even as a joke.



On the other hand. The image of Lenin with a newspaper-swatter - very common. Every word on posters filled with deep meaning. Not just the peasants and collective farmers. Intelligentsia - people. People should not not good health.



Feat Presnya workers. In general, it is curious that for those killed during the revolution now all 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 his eyes - tears. That is, the military exploits seem modern. And earlier in the same kind to what some members of the underground who was killed illegally printing leaflets for the Bolsheviks. 1986 th.



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



Before the Bolshoi Theatre. 1986 th.



End of the hotel "Moscow", which is now completely rebuilt. 1986 th. Against the background of no one saw the word "dick", everyone knew that it XXVII Congress of the CPSU. And then it seemed that the word "party" there is only one value, and this word will never be able to find the second meaning. It turned out that the language alive.
An interesting way of women. In the Soviet propaganda was allowed several female characters. There was a girl - a schoolgirl; girl - youth, education; something asexual - a friend, a colleague (just drawn here); a woman of 50 with a scarf on the head or shoulders - the mother.



Festive decoration of the Bolshoi Theater. 1986 th.



The following year - almost the same. 1987 th.



It is difficult to imagine how the whole country could live quietly perceiving all these slogans and portraits. No one was surprised no one made fun of. Surely, someone set fire or throwing a jar of ink drawn 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 th.



The next Congress. 1987, d. Especially those terrible baskets of flowers - such unmistakable shovels. In the west still looks flowers overseas, and we have stagnation in the industry will persist.



1990 th. The new conditions. Enable artists and designers to express themselves, to throw off the shackles of totalitarian - but the older generation almost entirely gone to the bottom. Because work and think no one could.



However, 90th - the most graphically terrible period in the world, not only for us. There were computers, they all went, but to work for them, no one knew how. As much shit as in the '90s, never produced.

1990 th. Opened the first McDonald's. At that time there were no jokes about the fact that there can go piss, if the toilet is no closer. Stood in line for several hours. There were special boys who earned that brought the bandits parked on the boulevard orders - a proto-makavto. At the first McDonald's in the logo was the Soviet flag (in Canada is still the same with the Canadian flag). To the west it was one of the most significant events. Firstly, always turn be photographed. Second, the Soviet flag under the letter M - it's like on the Moon restaurant open.



1991 th. The collapse of the USSR. School painter afraid to paint Lenin entirely, walked around. "The most humane man" - none of this garbage ears not withered, for some reason.
