These are impressive posters. It's amazing to me that so long ago this graphic design style was used and everyone seems to be coming back around to it full circle. Definitely commands ones attention.

You do know that the second poster from the top says, "Books are a stream of knowledge, treasure your libraries.", Yeah, those soviets, crazy ideas, books for gods sake. Who would have thought?!

Beautiful posters. Designer & marketers are still using communism impact (images of old leaders dictators, symbols) in publicity, because they can easy capture the attention of the public.

Aww man, when I saw this, I thought "Soviet Poster a Day" had come back.

These are awesome... but there are a lot more to look at at the Soviet Poster a Day blog... unfortunately it hasn't been active for a couple months now.
