In Soviet Russia, Santa Is A Communist
What's better to get you in the Christmas mood than viewing old communist propaganda. I saw this article about old Soviet Christmas cards, and they're quite interesting to browse through.
The attitudes reflected in the cards seem most interesting to me though. It must have been during a time when they were doing well in space, and there was no limit to their capabilities. Their space program must have been a source of great pride in the nation.
I think one bit of irony though is how they used Santa. If there was one icon I would associate with the most veracious, materialistic, capitalistic part of Christmas, it would have to be Santa.
Merry Christmas Comrades!
