About the Item
Created in 1968 by Soviet graphic artist E. Artsrunyan, this bold propaganda poster is a striking visual artifact of the Cold War. Titled “Curb American Imperialism!” (in Russian: "Обуздать американский империализм!"), the work embodies the intense geopolitical tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union at the height of the ideological confrontation.
Produced in the USSR, the poster served as a visual weapon in the cultural and psychological battle against Western influence. Its powerful messaging aimed to unify Soviet citizens and international allies under a common resistance to U.S. foreign policy, symbolizing a broader critique of American global ambitions.
Artsrunyan was known for his direct and dramatic style, utilizing symbolism and caricature to communicate political narratives. This piece is emblematic of the time, capturing the atmosphere of mistrust and defiance that defined Soviet media and public communication strategies.
Today, the poster stands as a significant piece of 20th-century visual history, often collected for its graphic power and its representation of Soviet ideological aesthetics.

View All1967 original Soviet poster by G. Komoltsev, titled American Democracy
Located in PARIS, FR
The 1967 original Soviet poster by G. Komoltsev, titled "Démocratie Américaine," is a striking example of Cold War-era propaganda that reflects the intense ideological conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. The poster critiques American democracy, portraying it as hypocritical and violent. This powerful visual commentary was produced at the height of the Vietnam War and during the Civil Rights Movement in the United States, two major issues that Soviet propaganda frequently highlighted to criticize the U.S.
G. Komoltsev, a Soviet artist, employed bold imagery and stark contrasts to make a political statement. The design of the poster features a fragmented American flag, with images that depict scenes of police brutality and military intervention, a visual representation of what the Soviet Union portrayed as the reality behind the American ideal of democracy. The use of red, white, and blue in the poster echoes the American flag, but the imagery contained within these colors tells a very different story, emphasizing conflict, oppression, and inequality.
This poster was part of a broader campaign by the Soviet Union to undermine the global image of the United States by highlighting domestic issues such as racial inequality, protests against the Vietnam War, and civil unrest. Soviet propaganda during this period frequently contrasted the social upheavals in the United States with the purported stability and equality of the socialist system. Posters like "Démocratie Américaine" were distributed widely in Soviet territories and in allied countries as part of this ideological battle.
The bold, graphic style of the poster is typical of Soviet propaganda art...
