These original posters were photographed, with permission, during a visit to the National Art Museum in Komsomol Na Amur. There are also a few front pages from Komsomolskaya Pravda which were published at that time.
Translations into English are in red and in some cases explanations are in black below each poster.
WE WILL DEFEND MOSCOW!
YOUTH, FIGHT FOR YOUR MOTHERLAND!
The top headline above the newspaper's name reads roughly:
GLORY TO GREAT STALIN THE CREATOR OF OUR VICTORY!
MORE PLANES, TANKS, BIG GUNS, ARTILLERY
KILL THE FASCIST BASTARD!
THE TIME IS COMING WHEN THE RED ARMY TOGETHER WITH ALLIED ARMIES WILL BREAK THE SPINE OF THE FASCIST BEAST
The boot is stomping on three words:
UNIVERSITY, SCHOOL, LESSONS
Below them, along the bottom is a short poem:
A pig does not need culture or science
its worldview is very limited
Mein Kampf is the most sophisticated note
of its oinking
NOT A VOICE FROM THEIR THROAT
BUT A BEAST'S ROAR
BECAUSE THE PLANS OF THE BLITZKIEG
WERE FOILED
THE BAYONETS ARE GETTING CLOSER AND THE GERMAN MONSTER IS MOANING IN AGONY, FEELING THAT THE END IS NEAR
FOR OUR HOMELAND,
FOR HONOR, FOR FREEDOM!
"....THE RED ARMY TOGETHER WITH ALLIED ARMIES WILL BREAK THE SPINE OF THE FASCIST BEAST." J. Stalin
THE HOUR IS NEAR WHEN GERMANS WILL PAY FOR ALL THEIR CRIMES
DEATH TO FASCISTS- CHILD MURDERERS!
YOU GAVE US OUR LIFE BACK!
YOU
HOW HAVE YOU HELPED THEM AT THE FRONT?
