re: #318 Dr Lizardo

Yes, exactly. It’s well-done; there was an art gallery in Prague dedicated to Soviet/Czechoslovak Communist-era propaganda; it’s really quite fascinating. The gent who owns the gallery is quite familiar with the genre, and he can explain it in terms any layman can understand. I don’t know if it’s still around - it was as of 2006.

There was a Museum of Communism that I saw when I was in Prague but I never got around to seeing it. Our intenary was more older history. I mean got to see the Charles Bridge and St. Vitus Cathedral- great but I was there 40 years after the Prague spring and really wanted to see stuff from that. That sounds like a fascinating gallery though. We laugh at the propaganda but it’s amazing to think someone made those in the serious hope that it would convince people of the greatness of Communism.
