The books imported by Bronze Horseman in this category range cover a gauntlet of forms, purposes, and styles: advertising posters from the late imperial period; cinemas posters of the 1920s, 30s, and 40s; World War II posters designed and published in Moscow that kept up morale even as Nazi troops threatened to encircle the capital; Soviet-era posters from the Museum of the History of Religion attacking priests and undermining the Russian Orthodox Church; and propaganda murals applied to the sides of trains to spread the Bolshevik cause during the first years of the Soviet regime.
