Description

Alcohol: A Collection of Soviet Anti-Alcohol Posters from the 1980s. This book presents a unique collection of previously unpublished Soviet anti-alcohol posters, produced during Mikhail Gorbachev's campaign to address excessive alcohol consumption. The posters, created between the 1960s and 1980s, feature graphic depictions of the negative consequences of drinking, including individuals trapped inside bottles or strangled by "the green snake." These striking images convey a strong message about the dangers of excessive alcohol use. The book includes a two-part essay by renowned cultural historian Alexei Plutser-Sarno, which provides context and insight into the reasons behind this phenomenon from a Russian perspective. This collection offers a fascinating glimpse into Soviet propaganda and the ways in which it was used to address social issues during a significant period of change.
