Place of origin |
This poster promotes the Soviet commitment to the enviroment. The emblem in the upper left corner reads "Protection of Nature - People's Duty!" As was the goal of most Soviet propaganda, this poster establishes a contrast between environmentally responsible business practices - here the Soviet factories are shown capped with air filters, symbolised by the diagonal red lines - and what was understood to be the irresponsible, profit-at-any-cost business practices of capitalist nations.
