Leonid A. Amalrik
Description
The USSR's animation studios frequently took aim at the United States and aspects of American culture perceived as evil. These initially included racism, unemployment, aggression, and excess. During the 1960s, these were expanding to decry the Vietnam War, the influence of the Catholic Church, and economic and class divisions. The cartoons selected represent five decades of animated Soviet propaganda.
