Symposium Visual: 1

This image was created on 1952. It was roughly the beginning of the communist era, and the government commissioned posters such as these so they could impose prohibitions on civil liberties. Titled "Dzuma z USA," the words translate to "The plague from the USA." This specific poster was originally created by Walerian Borowczyk, a popular film director. The focus of this specific poster marks the beginning of the cold war, as it focuses on America's use of nuclear weapons. The style of this poster correlates to the soviet realism imposed by the era.

I have written permission to use this image.
