The liberation of Africa from the oppression of Western colonizers in the 1960s became one of the main themes of Soviet propaganda posters.
Abstract: This article assembles several examples of Soviet posters exploring the decolonization of the African continent shown at the second Russia-Africa Summit. These images showcase how African themes, particularly depictions of an international union of workers of all skin colours, and the black populations shown "groaning under the oppression of white colonizers", became an integral part of Soviet propoganda posters in the second half of the 20th century.
