A Different Kind of Propaganda
Let's take a look at a different kind of
Propaganda.
You have learned about Imperialism and WW I
and have looked at various political cartoons
representing these ideologies.
After WW I and the Great Depression a period
of economic distress and distrust in
government existed in Europe.
Pass out to student pairs, sets of
photographs.
Take a few minutes to look over the
photographs.
Discuss with your partner what you think you
see - describe the photos.
Look at the detail, the clothing.
Now compare the two pictures and write down
everything that is similar and everything
that is different between the photos.
"The Rise of the Dictators" - Josef
Stalin/U.S.S.R.
Photographs can lie. They certainly do in the
Soviet Union from 1929 to 1953, the years of
Joseph Stalin's dictatorial rule. Stalin's agents
routinely arrest and kill as "enemies of the
people" anyone who disagrees with his
politics, Communist Party workers.
Who are the missing people in the
photographs?
Effects of Soviet Propaganda
Do you think this tactic was successful?
Explain.
Would you trust a government that alters
pictures to sway your opinion?

unique piece of propaganda.

photograph. You may create a hard copy or
