The Soviet propoganda had an abbundance of interesting posters, but only a couple, or group with same idea, really stood out to me. What really stood out to me was that in the Soviet's propoganda they should that they have more interest in the safety and well being of the children(the nation's future) than the adults. Also they promoted excersize and fitness for the citizens. Lastly what really stood out was how the Soviets used propoganda to try and show the civilians that the US is planning to attack, or willing to attack, meanwhile the soviets "just want peace".
The propoganda posters showed an importance in the developement and safety of the youth. For example if a disaster were to occur the main emergancy response would be put towards looking for the children. Also th adults must teach the children how to put on emergancy mask incase of attack, or they have to teach them how what to do incase of an emergancy. They also made education and excersize an important aspect of a kids life. They made certain childhood groups that helped the children learn the Soviets ideas. I believe the importance of the youth in the Soviet's mind is that the youth is their future, and if socialist ideas were to succeed in the Soviet Union the children would have to be well educated.
Other propoganda posters harped on the importance of excersize. One poster in particular showed a man who would not excersize, then missed excersize classes, and then missed sports activites. At the sametime everyone esle is excersizing and playing sports. Then the poster shows him struggling to carry something that a girl is easily carrying in the front. I believe that the Soviet Union really wanted their citizens to be fight inorder to possibly get called for to go to war. Or possibly the are to be fight so they could so theyre dominance.
