Hi, there! My name is Alex, and I’am the author of the A Soviet Poster A Day Blog.

First of all I would like to thank you for the appreciation, these posters are just amazing!

I’ve read your comments and I think there’s a couple of thing that need clarifying. This is the difference between Nazi, Soviet, Chineese posters – the remains of the totalitarian regimes, which in the course of existence took millions of innocent lives.

There are two things. The first one is the main thing actually: I am Russian, and there is one feeling I have to the people that lived in the soviet times – it’s the deepest and infinite gratitude.
Modern Russia owns everything to soviet times - its culture, industry, housing, roads, transportation, etc. Who did all these things? Its my grandmother who in the frosty fourties was building Moscow metro, its both of my grandfathers, who fought Nazis and got wounded several times, its that millions of people who died of the hard work building foundation for the economy. These posters show how common people felt during their lives, and not Stalin, Brezhnev or any other soviet dictator. This is why in no way I will be doing Nazi posters ever – no matter how graphically impressive they are.

And the other thing is history itself. It is just as it is – you can be partial to some periods or personalities, but you can’t deny their existence. Yes, there was Stalin and he did kill millions of innocent people during repressions of the thirties (official data is 3.7 mln repressed, including 900 thousand assassinated, unofficial is 2-5 times more), and yes, the posters of the time did present life in a far more positive manner. I think you have to get on with it – just show Soviet history from the poster point of view. No mourning will help, to my greatest disappointment.

And the third thing is that these posters are just beautiful. They are a great source of inspiration for designers and people, who like art. No denying of that.

I have just started another poster blog – devoted to Cuban Posters - cubanposter.blogspot.com/
I hope you’ll like it too

With best regards,
Alexander Zakharov

Muchos de los carteles no tienen nada que ver con la guerra o el ejercito, pero vosotros en seguida os vais al politiqueo barato.

#6: Pues a mi me gusta tanto la estética de los desfiles nazis como comunistas, además de algunos desfiles actuales.
Pero que me atraiga la estética de un desfile militar no quiere decir que comulgue con sus ideales. Así como por ver un documental sobre el ejercito soviético no me convierte en comunista, tampoco me convierte en católico practicante el ir a una catedral y hacer fotos.

#7: Que quizás aquí haya más gente de izquierdas que de derechas no quiere decir que esto no sea democrático, ¿o es que en Castilla León (por ejemplo), por el echo de que gane siempre el PP los convierte en una dictadura?

#6, empiezas confundiendo pluralidad con equidistancia, pero ya puestos: atendiendo a criterios puramente estéticos, esta es una gran película –>
