Soviet posters during the Eastern Front were visual aids meant to elaborate a certain point, such as the attitudes of the Soviet Government to current events taking place at the front, prevention of defeatism and pessimism, and inspiration of the troops and the people, in an accessible form. The Soviet posters of times of World War II are works of art and reflect elements of the Soviet cultural heritage. Such posters have often been displayed at special stands which were referred to as: « windows of TASS ». Posters differed both on workmanship and the form. Some of them were crude caricatures, while others were paintings on military topics or the photos which have received popularity, with an explanation about an event, the quote from the works of Lenin or Stalin or the poetic comment.
