About the Item
Crafted circa 1950, the original poster titled "Paix et liberté - URSS" (Peace and freedom - USSR) presents a striking visual juxtaposition that encapsulates the ideological struggle of the Cold War era. The poster features a Soviet soldier standing proudly, with the unmistakable symbol of the Nazi SS emblazoned over the acronym "URSS," the French abbreviation for the Soviet Union.
L'organisation "Paix et Liberté" fut créée en réponse à l'appel de Stockholm, dans le contexte de la guerre froide et du début de la guerre de Corée, par Jean-Paul David, député-maire radical de Mantes et secrétaire général du RGR, dès septembre 1950. Son objectif principal était de contrer la propagande communiste diffusée par le PCF auprès des Français, une propagande qui visait à promouvoir la paix dans le but ultime de favoriser les intérêts soviétiques.
Contrairement à la rhétorique pacifiste communiste, "Paix et Liberté" cherchait à mettre en lumière le caractère agressif du bloc communiste à travers des affiches ironiques. Son intention était de dénoncer l'hypocrisie du régime communiste, qui dissimulait ses ambitions belliqueuses derrière un discours pacifiste. Ainsi, l'organisation cherchait à rétablir l'idéal pacifiste en exposant la véritable nature du communisme.
"Paix et Liberté" fut secrètement financée par René Pleven, ministre de la Défense nationale et président du Conseil à cette époque, avec le soutien de nombreux hommes politiques et une partie du patronat. Un comité de pilotage secret, composé de représentants de l'État, supervisait les activités de l'organisation.
Basée à Paris, "Paix et Liberté" disposait d'une structure organisationnelle bien établie, comprenant un secrétariat général, des services de documentation, d'études et de diffusion de la propagande, ainsi que des délégations régionales chargées de la distribution des tracts et de la pose des affiches.

View AllOriginal poster from 1920 For peace, subscribe to the industrial bank of China
Located in PARIS, FR
Beautiful historical poster from 1920. Borrowing for peace, subscribe to the industrial bank of China. Several national loans were issued during the economic history of modern France. These national loans take place in times of war when the public finances are in trouble, as well as in times of peace when it is necessary to launch certain projects and the public debt remains high. If the State lacked cash and taxes were no longer sufficient, a loan sometimes became necessary.
In order to encourage the population to subscribe massively to these loans, governments used propaganda, notably through posters that titillated the nationalist fibre.
