I like old Soviet stuff and have a bunch of it. Sometimes I share them here. Other times I like to complain about things.

Didn't think I would have to say this, but if you're on "Reichblr", or post about Nazis in any way that isn't strictly condemning them then...please fuck off?
I'm sorry your history classes failed you, but here in Germany, we actually learn what the Nazis did— “But it’s just about the aesthetics!” Cool. Then go take moody black-and-white photos of your local landfill instead. Same energy.
We visit concentration camp memorials in school. We see the photos. We watch the footage. I’ve seen original footage of a child sitting between the corpses of their parents in the Warsaw Ghetto. So no, I don’t care if you think Himmler picking flowers is “just a nice picture.”
If you’ve got two lightning bolts in your bio, I hope you experience a swift medical emergency so sudden and severe that your internet history is the least of your family's concerns.

Does this count as slice of life? Soviet slice of life?
I love snapshots like this. I mean, I'd hate it if someone took a picture like this of me and then some idiot posted it online like 70 years later...but that's life, I guess.

This Women's History Month, we look back at some political propaganda posters, which serve as mirrors for the ideologies of societies. While communist forces promote women’s liberation, vintage US posters leave us speechless. Here are some stunning comparisons.
