Soviet anti-alcohol posters

The Soviets Union was notorious for having problems with alcoholism. These are a series of old Russian anti-alcohol posters from 1929-1969. Even without being able to read the posters, their message is clear. It is also interesting that, for the most part, graphically they are a departure from the usual "heroic" style of Soviet posters we're familiar with.

There are more after the jump, and even more at Vintage Everyday where I found these examples.
