Propaganda hit a fevered pitch in the years following the end of World War II with the help of radio and television.
In the U.S. there was a lot of red scare and nuclear holocaust propaganda — how could anyone forget those bizarre "duck and cover" instructional videos.
Just as horrifying were the messages circulating in Russia. Here we have a series of Anti-American posters designed to paint U.S. arms sales as the very gateway to hell.
Each slide has been translated into English. The poster here has a little poem, it reads as:
Take a close look. Mister Bullet's truthful, disgusting portrait
CIA and Pentagon's trump card
Nuclear war apologist
Robbery's best friend, freedom's enemy
Spreading violence and terror ...
Last two lines: He won't escape the tribunal of nations — And their verdict will be severe
"Afghanistan: a bullet from overseas."
"South Africa. The global policeman"
