"Untitled" is a 1941 propaganda poster by the Soviet art collective Kukryniksy, featuring a stark visual comparison between the German and Soviet soldiers during World War II. The poster depicts a German soldier being forced to consume a large amount of cutlery from a red star-emblazoned pot, while a Soviet soldier calmly eats a small meal from a pot with a red star in a simple and direct composition. The poster highlights the stark contrasts between the two sides in a clear and concise manner. The poster was used to boost morale and encourage support for the Soviet war effort.
