# 對自由世界 / 共產主義下的犧牲者 (For a Free World / Victims of Communism; Chinese poster distributed in Asia)

A two-panel sheet. The left panel, 'For a Free World / United Nations offers', shows photographs captioned security, food, improved land, rebuilt homes and better health. The right panel, 'Victims of Communism / Soviet Imperialism brings to Korea', shows a whip-wielding figure driving a column of people past onion-domed towers, and photographs captioned starvation, flight, death, broken homes and terror. The tell is card-stacking, pairing benefit photographs with suffering photographs, and name-calling in 'Soviet Imperialism'; no photograph is dated or sourced.

```
For a free world / Victims under Communism. What the United Nations can contribute: security; food; fertile land; rebuilding homes; promoting health. What Soviet imperialism brings to people: hunger; displacement and loss of home; death; homes in ruins; terror.
```

Two captions (the 'hunger' and 'homes in ruins' captions) are small and read with some uncertainty. The right-hand text has the character for 'people' printed in a simplified form (们).
