Life During The Cold War
Soviet space propaganda posters, 1958-1963
“I am happy - this is my work joining the work of my republic”
“Soviet man – be proud, you opened the road to stars from Earth!”
“We will open the distant worlds!”
“Glory to the Fatherland of Heroes!”
“We were born to make the fairy tale come true!”
“Socialism is our launching pad”
“Conquer space!”
“Fatherland! You lighted the star of progress and peace. Glory to the science, glory to the labor! Glory to the Soviet regime!”
“Through the worlds and ages.”
“In the name of peace and progress!”
An Essay You Need To Read If You Care About America And Can Be Honest With Yourself And The Truth
Creator of ‘The Wire’ says ‘There are now two Americas. My country is a horror show.’
I’m utterly committed to the idea that capitalism has to be the way we generate mass wealth in the coming century. That argument’s over. But the idea that it’s not going to be married to a social compact, that how you distribute the benefits of capitalism isn’t going to include everyone in the society to a reasonable extent, that’s astonishing to me.

Octopus in Propaganda and Political Cartoons
I love the Vulgar Army which bills itself as the go to place for the use of Octopus in propaganda and political cartoons. I am in my own personal heaven right now. It's like someone crawled into my mind and massaged my sweet spot. EWWW. That sounds perverse. Just like Octopus love.
You can see from each and every cartoon that the octopus is not a figure of joy. It's always BAD to be represented by the octopus. They are never on the side of what's good and right. Coincidental or brilliant character analysis? You know what side of the argument I fall on. Wow, 36 pages of this stuff to go through. If you want to know more detail about any of these images go to the page. It's very well done as a resource. Once again thanks to Brother Erik for the great find.
