Soviet posters and the image of the state

A short documentary on Soviet poster art as an instrument of ideology rather than decoration. It reads the standard devices, including the heroic worker, the pointing figure that addresses the viewer directly, and the compressed slogan designed to be legible at a distance and remembered. It sets the imagery against the conditions it was concealing.
