New Au revoir post from Stephanie J.!
Down with kitchen slavery! Let there be new household life!
G. Shegal, 1931
In 1917 the majority of laws of Russian Empire were repealed. Instead the first Soviet Constitution of 1918 declared full rights of women in divorcements, private property, children wardship, work and profession opportunities, choosing of place of living, education and suffrage. A decree which was stating the equal payment for men and women was also issued that year. Finally woman has got the same rights as men. The flip side of the coin was that woman had to work as hard as men as well.
At the same time the reforms of the economy were hampered no only by the Civil War but also by the runaway inflation. To give payment to the workers the Government had to print more money, which only made the situation worse. So the commodity-money relations were partly abolished: instead of wages workers were receiving rations, necessities, canteen coupons. Rent and transport fares were cancelled as well as payments for other public utilities. Free trade of food and goods was prohibited. The state was mobilizing the workers and was giving them full allowance (sort of).
... Excerpted from A Soviet Poster A Day, a blog well worth checking out.
Bizarre poster, isn't it?

Hey, it's my blog so I can be as OT as I want!
Murst!
There are such odd angles in that poster.
It's hard to reconcile the idea that Burma is safe with this statement:
‘Avoid anything remotely resembling a crowd gathering and listen to the advice from government’
In safe places, one doesn't have to avoid crowds for fear of getting one's head bashed in by the government.
@Ogg,
Yes, that was when some of the Russian propaganda posters were still artistic.
I couldn't believe this quote in that Burma article: "It is safe to go to Myanmar where a warm welcome from the locals awaits"

Hi akubi!
Many Russian women are very tough. The men have a tendency to give up when things are really bad. I can't imagine living like that. Isolated regions you might be able to make a go of it, falling under the thumb of the party was nothing short of the matrix.
