When I was an undergrad, I wrote a paper on the Soviet press coverage of the West during the Cold war. In Soviet newspapers of 50-s, there was a special genre of ‘anti-bourgeois’ caricatures. There are two of them for you ))) I found them online. Unfortunately, there were no name of the newspaper and the year when these pictures were published.
Picture # 1
- Where is your salary?
- I gave all my money to pay for the apartment.
In FRG, as well as in other capitalist countries, the apartment rent is incredibly high. 20% increase is expected in this year.
Picture # 2
According to day-to-day reports of information agencies, unemployment grows inevitably. It is the real disaster for working people of the West. In the countries of “common market,” 10.2 millions or 9% of employable population do not have jobs.
