Soviet Propaganda Cartoons - Shooting Range, 1979, V. Tarasov [Part 2]

[Bluehawk2008]

Just think of all the free advertising this cartoon was giving Coca Cola in the Soviet Union!

[Rubashow]

The fat cat... uhh I mean: the job-creator reminds me of a German stereotype with his hat and obese body.

[brendanmcooney]

Can anyone give me the names of the musicians on this film? I'm always loved the music from this film and I'd like to find out more about it.

[pofigstik]

Soviet Propaganda?? you are wrong..

[drfrisby]

boring crap

[lunacomputacion]

of course this is propaganda too, most jobs and employers are not like this (but some of them there are...), but watch "red nightmare", for instance. The commies of that movie are simply brainwashed robots in uniform; they take the character's family, they sue him and make his sons and workmates accuse him and shot him without any reason but being red.

[lunacomputacion]

Psycho red LOL. I've been digging this wonderful video landfill for American and Soviet cold war films - this is one of the best, too bad it's not what I'm looking for. I need to show off paranoia and nonsensical "demonization" of the enemy (much to my surprise, US beats USSR in that matter, for a proportion of 4/1).

[Seuneglacise]

Beautiful

[putzthewondersloth]

What propaganda?  This happened to me just last week.

[ScreamnStevenHawkins]

I love the animation and story...But strange... The last couple the "Fat-Capitalist-Pig-Dog" entices look alot like Dale Gribble and Peggy Hill from 'King Of the Hill'?

[Paulbarbato]

I gotta say for propaganda, This is pretty artistic and detailed. I didn't really get the whole esoteric "Capitolism is wrong" message out of it, I just saw some intricately well done art.

[Wafflepudding]

@Paulbarbato Um, it's not esoteric. Dude was desperate for cash, so he took a shitty job that almost cost him his life, which he finally quit when his employer crossed the line. Ultimately it doesn't matter because another unemployed couple will take their place since there are more employees than job vacancies, so the employers have the upper hand. To some degree, truth in propaganda I guess.

[danubilo]

There's a lot of references to the united states, camel cigars, coca cola, mickey mouse, the beatles in the part one ( i don't know why, because they are from england). But it was obvious that the cartoon talks about USA

[plasticnapoleon22]

the soviet union was great if u wanted to live a simple life, if you want to work, but be happy and carefree at the same time. thats what life should be. not the dog-eat-dog barbarism that we have come to accept as fate. just simplicity and happiness, that is what life should be.

[likemy]

@plasticnapoleon22 are you fucking kidding me? did you grow up in the soviet ukraine during stalin's purges? carefree? what the fuck are you talking about. read some goddamned history before you spew that kind of bullshit

[Commiton]

Somehow this feels like a good animated metaphor for this citizen's life. This citizen happens to live in the United States. Capitalism.

[nomorenazis910]

the soviet union well the people think that we were wost in our nation but the ugly fact is we had a good  life humans

[makingsenseofth1ngs]

Spectacular, thank you PocketofTea for this marvelous Vladimir Tarasov piece.

[ThrilloVanHouten]

What's funny is that this is far more impressive than anything that came out of the US or Japan at that time. And it holds up well today!

[usuariofuturista]

Amazing! incredible!!!

very high quality, is almost no propaganda but piece of art!!

Remind me of "Cowboy Bebop" i think is very simillar

[rattengifje]

@usuariofuturista who says propaganda can't be art? :D

[OddmusicNmore]

nice to see a propaganda cartoon from other states than USA, artsy :P

[MrRedFredSaid]

Love it
