1980s Soviet Cold War Era Propaganda Poster

Item Details

A 1980s Soviet Cold War era propaganda poster. The starkly designed poster, in black, light blue and red, features a dramatic graphic design with an angry moon representing Russia, dominating the upper right, and aggressive skeletal figure in plaid jacket and straw cowboy hat, representing the United States, holding a black warhead with skull and ‘US’, bursting out of a Russian newspaper, with a bold lightning bolt exclamation ‘MMP’ in bright red text to the center. The poster conveys the expressive nature of Soviet poster art, with a straight-forwarded symbolism of anti-American sentiment. The poster is unframed, signed and dated to the block on the right side.
