Original circa 1970 Soviet propaganda poster - Cold War

Circa 1970

About the Item

​This original circa 1970 Soviet propaganda poster, titled Le capitaliste et le banquier ont peur de ce symbole - Paix !, was created by Sergei Vladimirovich Mikhalkov, a prominent Russian and Soviet poet and writer. Mikhalkov is notably recognized for authoring the lyrics of the Soviet Union's National Anthem in 1944 and revising them in 1977 to remove references to Stalin.​ The poster serves as a compelling example of Cold War-era Soviet propaganda, emphasizing the ideological struggle between capitalism and communism. Its message suggests that capitalists and bankers fear the symbol of peace, implying that true peace aligns with communist ideals, which were portrayed as threats to capitalist structures.​ Produced during a period marked by intense geopolitical tensions, this piece reflects the Soviet Union's efforts to promote its political ideology and critique capitalist societies. It stands as a significant artifact from the Cold War, offering insight into the era's propaganda strategies and the broader cultural and political discourse of the time. USSR - Politics - Cold War - Russia Sergei Vladimirovich Mikhalkov is a Russian and Soviet poet and writer, famous for having written the lyrics of the Soviet Union's National Anthem in 1944. In 1977, he rewrote them, deleting the passages referring to Stalin.
