Moscow Recommends: A Powerful Message from the Heart of Communism during World War II This striking Dutch wartime poster from 1943, titled "Moscow Recommends," conveys the intense political climate of the time through its bold imagery and powerful message. The poster depicts a large, angry man, symbolizing Russia, banging his fist on a red map of Europe. Behind him stands a soldier, representing Germany, with a small, docile figure of Britain to his left and an even smaller figure of America to his right. The poster's title, "Moscow Recommends," emphasizes the authoritative voice of the Soviet Union during the war. The use of red, a symbol of communism, adds to the poster's political significance. The image of a powerful Russia towering over smaller European powers was a common theme during World War II, reflecting the shifting balance of power in Europe. The soldier representing Germany is portrayed as a mere spectator to the scene, highlighting the perceived weakness of the Axis powers in the face of Soviet might. The small, submissive figures of Britain and America further emphasize this power dynamic. Despite the aggressive tone of the poster, there is also a sense of negotiation and diplomacy. The table in the background suggests that the outcome of the war is still uncertain, and that negotiations between the Allied powers and the Soviet Union are ongoing. This powerful image from the 1940s reflects the complex political landscape of World War II and the shifting alliances and power dynamics between the major world powers. It serves as a reminder of the pivotal role that the Soviet Union played in the outcome of the war and the emergence of the post-war world order.
