The USSR and the USA both considered the other to be the aggressor. Soviet artists regularly created posters that advocated for the peaceful exploration of outer space or peace to the children of the world.
With their stark simplicity and bold colours, peace propaganda posters were a part of the texture of everyday life in the Soviet Union, and reflect the official Soviet position as the peaceful superpower.
