1943.

This poster was made by the OSPAAAL, which is Spanish for Organization of Solidarity with the Peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America, the three continents mentioned in the poster. The poster is translated into English, French and Arabic.

This poster is related to the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan from the end of 1979 to 1989.

This poster calls for a boycott of South African fruit imports.

The title is a rough transliteration of “на здоровье, товарищ Гагарин”, and references the flight of Yuri Gagarin into space on 12 April 1961 - thus “proving” that there’s no God. This picture was made by militant-blog.org, an Italian political collective.

The caption in the corner tells us that this poster was made in 1941. Interestingly, the date is followed by the roman numeral XIX, meaning that it was printed in the 19th year of the “Fascist Era”, which began with the march on Rome on 28/10/1922. The logo in the upper left says “Fascist Union of Traders”, and the caption in the lower left says “Autarky and Commerce”, which seems to be a newspaper.

This poster was made in 1972 by the Italian Communist Party (more precisely, the “Livorno federation”, as we read in the corner). Note that the flags superimposed do not have a special meaning in the context of this poster, as it was the symbol of the Italian Communist Party.

The FMLN was a communist party in El Salvador, which at the time was fighting a civil war against the military-led government.

This poster promotes the role of the Soviet Union as peacekeeper of the Earth. The coat on the soldier may be a reference to Soviet soldiers in particular.
