Unit 8 Activity 2

 B. Clinch
Lewis Bush

Both of these photomontages show loyalty and following of people during war. The top image is from the 1930's while the bottom image is modern. The top image could either be for or against the leadership of Stalin. It may be trying to unify the people under him, and the buildings and planes represent the technological advancement of the U.S.S.R. On the other hand, Stalin may be being portrayed as a gigantic tyrant, oppressing the blind people below him. I don't know what the word in the middle means, but it would probably explain it better. The second picture shows the cult following of nuclear weapons. These weapons are disguised as a church, showing a fake facade of the government; a welcoming outside with a hidden evil behind it.
