This booklet of political posters is titled "ЯЗЫКОМ ПО АВАНТЮРНЫМ ПЛАНАМ НАТО" which translates as In the Language of a Poster on NATO's Adventurous Plan. These illustrations were done by a group of Soviet cartoonists known as Kukryniksy. The posters depict various topics of international relations, focusing on NATO. The illustrations primarily voice a message of anti-imperialism and pro-communism while poking fun at the United States' fixation on capitalism and greed. List of posters in order: 1. Kuril on miru fimiam, a fars kakoy tomu lish' svelsya, chto vylez mirovoy zhandarm iz shkury "Mirotvortsa" (He smoked incense to the world, and what a farce it only came down to that the world Gendarme got out of the skin of a "peacemaker.") 2.
