Look! This is the method of a conveyer belt,
But it seems to resemble more of a red tape,
And if we want to be more precise and less cautious,
We can call the method what it is-- just vicious.

In this picture from 1960, insignificance of the bureaucrats is intensified with their relatively small size compared to pens they hold and huge paper piles. In the upper-right corner of the poster there is an excerpt from the mouthpiece of the Communist Party--"Pravda" daily, which tells that:
"In 1959 the employees of Saratov Sovnarkhoz¹ have sent to lower levels 73 thousand orders, instructions, directions, memoranda and letters and other "proceeding" papers. And is there a need to speak about relationships with enterprises, if the heads of the departments still communicate mainly in a written form? Addiction to correspondence, faith in the power of a paper resulted in serious omissions in the work of Saratov Sovnarkhoz."
Artist: V. Kunnap
Poet: V. Suslov
"The Fighting Pencil" group, 1960.
