Images of Soviet Propaganda

[Alina Israeli]

Winter Palace was under UNESCO protection. Even if they needed to  
change nails they had to call Paris or Geneva (I can't remember  
which). This is not a joke.

So whenever banners had to be displayed, this building, Здание штаба  
Гвардейского корпуса was covered up http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%94%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%86%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%BF%D0%BB%D0%BE%D1%89%D0%B0%D0%B4%D1%8C#.D0.97.D0.B4.D0.B0.D0.BD.D0.B8.D0.B5_.D1.88.D1.82.D0.B0.D0.B1.D0.B0_.D0.93.D0.B2.D0.B0.D1.80.D0.B4.D0.B5.D0.B9.D1.81.D0.BA.D0.BE.D0.B3.D0.BE_.D0.BA.D0.BE.D1.80.D0.BF.D1.83.D1.81.D0.B0_.28.D0.B4.D0.BE.D0.BC.D0.B0_2.E2.80.944.29

Here http://www.nvspb.ru/tops/perestroilis-42292/?version=print  
towards the end there are two pictures, one with the building covered  
with Marx and C° and the other one without the portraiture.

Some habits never die: http://images.yandex.ru/yandsearch?ed=1&text=%D0%B7%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5%20%D1%88%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%B0%20%D0%B3%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%B9%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE%20%D0%BA%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BF%D1%83%D1%81%D0%B0&p=25&img_url=forum.nmp4.ru%2Fuploads%2Fpost-3151-1162528546_thumb.jpg&rpt=simage

For holidays there would be portraits: http://armor.kiev.ua/Tanks/BeforeWWII/T28/?img=T28_13.jpg.html

Usually three could be hoisted for the big holidays in my time.
