Hungary's Fight for Freedom, 111b: Spilling Their Blood (Chinese-English poster distributed in Manila)
A blue poster headed 'Hungary's Fight for Freedom' with a close photograph of a dead person lying in rubble in the street. The Chinese and English slogans say the peoples behind the Iron Curtain spill their blood to stem 'Russian aggression'. The tell is fear-appeal and name-calling: a graphic casualty photograph and the label 'Russian Aggression' frame the 1956 events for the viewer.
