The study of Russian poster history provides a fascinating insight into the development of the soviet propaganda machine. Every poster ? and this is true not only of Soviet posters ? tells a story of the time and place within which it was produced. Put in context, the Soviet empire was quite explosive in 1956 ? the year this poster was created. Hungary ? a Soviet satellite ? was revolting, and Nikita Khrushchev was instituting what could be called a rapprochement with the rest of the world ? opening the door slightly to political, cultural and economic contact with other nations. This event was evidently one of those inter-Soviet events ? note the dove signifying peaceful intent.
