This is an original Russian T-shirt. Screened printed in Moscow, Russia. Manufactured of 5.1 oz. fabric - luxuriously soft 100% cotton ring-spun yarn with double-needle coverseamed neck.

"McLenin's" is what the T-shirt says on the front of it, while the back print is quite equivocal: "The Party is Over" (with a Soviet hammer and sickle star frying). Will make a great gift to anyone interested in either McDonald's® or Soviet history.

SOVIET PROPAGANDA

Lenin created the first truly modern propaganda machine, and its most colorful, dramatic and original form was the poster.

Although posters were produced in Russia before the Revolution, they were overshadowed by the remarkable propaganda posters of the Soviets. Lenin takes responsibility for creating the first truly modern propaganda machine, from postage stamps and Mayday parades to monumental sculptures. Perhaps its most colorful, dramatic and original form was the poster. Through it, the greatest artists of the time proclaimed government policies, asked for support, and demanded greater efforts -- all with the goal of building Soviet power.
