war in the modern world

This is my War in the Modern World on-line journal. Through this blog I hope to participate with others working on understanding War in the Modern World and its myriad implications. This site is open for others to comment on as they please, preferably with relevant material. Given that I am prone to the tangential, this idea of relevance may range far and wide.

Soviet Era posters 1

Sorry, this Soviet propaganda poster is cut off from on the bottom. However, I like these. I bought a book full of them in 1987. This poster, published in 1958 says, "NYET!" or in that crazy Cyrillic alphabet, "HET!" which, exhausting my Russian, means, "NO!" So I like a few things about this poster:
  1. It was published by the USSR.
  2. It is way in advance of the the RiceBushChenny "smoking gun in the shape of a mushroom cloud" bit.
  3. It has both onion domed buildings in silhouette at the bottom, as well as palm trees - a reference to the Soviet-Cuban nexus.
  4. like the poster bellow, it has a less than subtle anti-war message.
