Description

In the 1920s and 1930s, the People’s Commissariat of Posts and Telegraphs of the USSR (NKPT) produced vast quantities of propaganda postcards, printing two million copies of this one alone. The postcard’s anti-lynching caption and illustration align with anti-American attitudes, while its multilingual text reflects the internationalist ideals of the Soviet Union.
