modern PR-technologies have gone far ahead in comparison with the means of propaganda relatively recently.Today, public consciousness in the most affected by the electronic media, including the crucial increasingly takes on the World Wide Web.At the same time, and so, at first glance, already obsolete way of suggestion and the formation of correct ideas as propaganda poster, is popular and effective.
early Soviet posters
In prerevolutionary Russia, flyers and other print media, including posters, official authorities rarely used.But in the first years of Soviet power, this kind of propaganda has gained particular importance was the rapid development and even became a separate kind of modern and futuristic art.People should outline the joyful prospect of a new world, to create the impression of patterns occurring changes and instill the idea of imminent and severe bloody struggle and selfless work.Required bright and bold colors, unusual approaches to the design of these massively replicated works of art.Soviet propaganda posters of those years characterized by expressive and revolutionary not only the content but also the form.They call recorded by volunteers in the Red Army, beat the bourgeoisie, take the proletarian requisition bread and drink raw water, avoiding infested it dangerous vibrio.To create these masterpieces (there are rare instances now at a great price) had a hand in the famous artists and poets (Denny, Mayakovsky, and others), which explains their high artistic merit.
interwar period
harsh years have passed, and behind them start new, too hard.The curves of the political line of the Party repeated propaganda posters.The Soviet Union was building socialism, the NEP was abandoned, the scope of the creation of an industrial base was accompanied by no less than a grand transformation of the countryside.Industrialization was accompanied collectivization that left farmers with little or no property, both private and personal.People were hard and hungry.There was a need to explain why, and why they must patiently endure troubles and hardships for the sake of something.
Today, in some countries this task is performed by TV, at least - radio, pointing to the bright prospects, such as democracy and freedom.Then, these funds were not, at least in the broad masses, but propaganda poster that hung on the fence Announcement posts, or simply on a wall, they have successfully replaced.In addition to appeals work shock and strengthen all that is possible, actual steel warning treacherous enemies and spies from which one defense - guard.And do not need to talk much ...
Holy War

postwar decades
Actuality campaign poster did not lose after the victory.Glorifying the Soviet liberators, authors should not forget about the pressing problems of restoration and creative work.Many samples of those years have acquired, despite the perfection of the art form, signs of bureaucracy, unnecessary pomp and sometimes complete meaninglessness.What, for example, is a call to vote for "the further prosperity of our cities and villages"?And who would be in 1950 (yes, indeed, today, too) began to oppose?Or here's another topic - about the collective farm crops.Whom it is addressed?The farmers already knew how they lived.Poor and poor.And the citizens of this guess.
Subsequent decades, alas, continue this sad tradition.Posters for the maize saga, virgin soil, BAM and other accomplishments, not only did not reflect the reality (of the means of propaganda is not required), but also in the artistic sense, much inferior to the early works of proletarian artists.
stands out only those that were dedicated to our astronauts.They actually drew from the heart.
