These are great! Some of the indictments are more of a stretch than others, but propaganda posters can also just be funny on their own. This "oh God, they took everything!" one is good, but my fave is the "carpool with Hitler" one. The Cracked commentary on it is hilarious.
The Soviet Union is building a better tomorrow. And we've got the modest, one-bedroom apartments to prove it!
The Problem:
Look, we get that it's probably hard to convey emotions like pride when you've never seen anyone smile without the assistance of vodka. But the star of this poster doesn't seem to be saying, "Welcome to your new apartment!" so much as, "Oh God, they took everything!" Propaganda 101: Never use a bereaved man whose left eye appears to have been beaten halfway shut to make you feel good about the future.
