Title: Crude and Boring
Review: I satisfied my curiosity by viewing Disc 1, and can see why this series might be of major interest to historians or those wanting to learn more about the Cold War. On the other hand. The Soviets were not very good cartoonists, and their propaganda is so sterotyped and heavy handed as to be a complete turnoff. As a result, this compilation is apt to be a large bore to contemporary viewers. On the other hand, Russian citizens in the mid-twentieth century may have been more receptive.In my memory, American propaganda in the visual arts never portrayed the Soviets in such a crude, unsophisticated fashion. The German Nazis, however, protrayed them in cartoons as bestial and rapacious barbarians
