Goebbels' goldmine 1941

"Goebbels' Goldmine" (1941) is a satirical cartoon by the Soviet art collective Kukryniksy. The artwork depicts Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, standing on a barrel labelled “Goebbels Propaganda,” pouring out propaganda from a funnel in the form of a propaganda speech. The caption reads, “A German surrounded by an entire Russian regiment and still caught!”. This work is a powerful critique of Nazi propaganda and its manipulation of public opinion. It is a reminder of the power of art to expose the truth and challenge authority. Soviet political cartoons like this one were used to spread anti-fascist propaganda, and were widely disseminated among the population.
