An idea just hit me regarding crude Soviet propaganda (such as, under the furniture ad on the wall of a building across the street from me is a huge "WE ARE BUILDING COMMUNISM" with a bunch of giant workers). It seems like they kept trying to use the same kind of propaganda that worked on the unsophisticated peasants of the early Soviet era on the educated urbanized classes of the late era. It became silly.
