| Dear Peter, Hello. My name is Antonin Lejko. I am a Czech. I have been in the United States and Canada for eleven years now. I am very interested in your collection of posters. I especially am fond of the one of Prachatice. I hope to order it as soon as I can settle to a permanent address, as I have been moving around a lot as of late for my work. I am curious to know from what era your Czech "Our Free Colors" poster is from. Also why the poster is in English. I find such posters uplifting. Especially since I have lived in many North American cities, and all of them seem to me the same (except my beloved Pittsburgh). New York, Washington, and Detriot are horrible places in my view. Prague and Kyjev are my favorites places to be in. I wonder if you would know where to find a collection of GDR propaganda like yours? I enjoy your web page and I will order from you soon I hope. Na s'hledanou! -A P.S. your dog is beautiful. |

| Mon, 30 Oct 2000 21:59:39 -0500 Petr-I'll keep an eye out for the new additions. BTW, I noticed a couple posters on your site labeled as depicting US president Harry Truman (#s 049 & 051) when in fact they depict Richard Nixon. Admittedly, the 2 are similar, but Truman was a Democrat while Nixon was a Republican. Truman's great contributions to the human condition were the unnecessary nuking of Japan at the end of W.W.II and his later invention of the Cold War (Truman Doctrine) while Nixon is best and most fondly remembered for his overwhelming paranoia, secret bombings of Laos & Cambodia during his massive escalation of the Vietnam war (note poster 049 shows the "hawkish" Nixon sinking his talons into southern Laos) and of course for his resignation of the presidency following the Watergate scandal (Overwheling Paranoia In Action). I have to admit that, although I'm aware of the failings of Soviet communism (particularly under Stalin) I substantially agree with many if not most of the broader sentiments put forth on a number of these posters, which accounts partially (though not totally) for their appeal to me. I gather from some of the links you have included on your site (concerning ecology, nuclear proliferation, Napster, etc.) that although you experienced a Soviet influenced political state first hand, you are not blind to the failings of capitalism. As I am sure you're aware from living in the USA, it is virtually impossible to have any sort of dialogue here on the true merits and failings of our principle cultural myths, such as the superiority of capitalism, the absolute righteousness of the US and its culture in all matters internal and external, etc. I would welcome a discussion of these issues if you have the time. Sincerely, David |

| Mon, 18 Dec 2000 19:16:42 +0200 dear Peter, I have recently visited your site and I was very impressed about the amount of posters collected and your dedication towards this subject which ,I know, is time and energy consuming. I was also fascinated by the quality of the works collected which I consider to be masterpieces in graphic design and in art in general. However, this collection , in my opinion, deserve a lot more than a website and should be publicly exhibited in an appropriate place and scenery reflecting their true value . From this notion , I was wondering if you will be interested in exhibiting as well as publishing this magnificent collection which will positively impact both the artistic as well as the financial aspect of this collection. I am certain that this idea has a lot of potential ,so please take it into consideration and feel free in informing me about any reaction or comment. thank you in advance leonid Issakoff --------- Fri, 29 Dec 2000 10:20:16 +0200 Peter, I am glad that you wrote back. As to my proposition I was thinking, in a first step , in organizing an exhibition of your collection here in Lebanon given that the atmosphere encourages such an idea , also I have raised this issue in front of some of my contacts and I had a very positive response. The time and place of this exhibit will be determined after we exchange our options and ideas. The issue of publishing the collection will be determined , in my opinion, after the exhibition takes place. please send me any proposition you have. sincerely, leonid issakoff --------------- Mon, 15 Jan 2001 14:40:17 +0200 dear peter, I began talking with some potential sponsors regarding the exhibit and I can say that this idea is a certain success.. I am getting very positive responses regarding this matter. I also discussed this issue in front of some of the graphic design teachers as well as students .. the issue regarding the place of the exhibit remains difficult to choose. 3 places are suitable and this issue should be discussed by the two of us after I send you the details regarding the spaces. we should start by choosing the kind of posters to exhibit and I wanted to know if you other than the posters posted in your website. hope to hear from you soon. ------------------- Fri, 19 Jan 2001 12:47:45 +0200 dear peter the exhibit generally involves your participation , not only by supplying the posters, but in your presence as well. I am merely trying to organize the exhibit and your presence is essential knowing that it is you who collected the posters. this exhibit is another way, in my opinion, to sell the posters and into acquiring more substantial customers . I think you are a little bit worried about my interest in you posters, but I assure you that the whole idea isn't just a hoax and I am ,as I said earlier, just trying to organize a suitable environment for these posters because the both of us know that they deserve to be exhibited publicly. please feel free in telling me if you have any other worries. sincerely leonid issakoff |

| Petr-One of my favorite bands when I was a teenager was Steely Dan. There music was quite sophisticated for the period (the band's name comes from a term for a dildo from William Borough's infamous Beat Generation novel "Naked Lunch"). In fact their sound still stands out & I still enjoy them, which is something I couldn't say about the vast majority of the music at the time & can say about still less of it now. Anyway, they've recently produced a new album after a 20 year hiatus, and I thought you'd enjoy one of the images they chose for their web site about the new recording. When I first saw it I thought "my god, that's got a familiar look to it", then it dawned on me. You can see it at http://www.steelydan.com/2vnreviews.html . The 2 guys pictured are the primary members of the group, Donald Fagan & Walter Becker, the latter of whom has been said to look a bit like Trotsky. David |

| i just took a cinema of latin America class from DeeDee Halleck where we discussed the Cuban Poster Movement. I love your collection, thank you for displaying them on the internet. This page could actually be a great learning resource about these political forms of media. I'm working on her website, I'd love to use your page as a learning resource. This way, some of the rich kids from UC San Diego, where my professor teaches, could buy some of your posters. Are you interested in being linked from her personal website?

| Hello Peter, I am completely in awe of all the variety of images, graphic and font creativity, and boldness these old posters vibrate. There are too many wonderful illustrations to choose from. What a great focus to go around the world collecting posters. I'm jealous. You have amazing eye for this endevor. I was looking around the internet for some old posters for inspiration and came upon your site. I am preparing to do a painting project announcing mock engagements in poster-like format. ( my website; http://www.magma.ca/~artlois/ ) Keep it up, Sincerely, Claude Marquis |
| Peter- What a cool site! We adopted our daughter from Russia last year and people looked at me like I was nuts when I explained I wanted to see Russian socialist posters. Do you have any depicting Stalingrad, or Volgograd? BTW, I noticed the one called "Mom, I want to be with you " but hits a little too close to home! Thanks- Cindy Yacob |

| Hi Peter, I'm very impressed with your own history as a poster's world wide runner My name is Martin and i'm living in Paris since 1990,originaly i was from Montreal and have an adventurous life . I am starting a new activity;selling masses or commercial posters cheaply,compare to competition.But i would like to specialise myself(question of pleasing myself)in selling soviet union or satellites, posters.Why?Because i like art and design and particular the constructivisism and suprematism! I invest all my economy in my project and ,trying to be very competitive i'll sell some posters very low and make the profit in board-mounting!... Martin |
| Peter, Your proposal sounds fair. I will send you back the damaged "Lidice" in exchange for a new copy. I will include a check for the Lenin set 281a/b/c. Due to my impatience, I may decide to send the check by FedEx and the poster by regular first class mail. But I am still thinking about it. I may come to my senses. That's all for now, DH ----------------- Petr, Hey, I just thought you would find this amusing. I went to the FedEx office yesterday and found out that it would cost $88 to send an envelope to your address. Amazing huh? Anyway, needless to say, I will send you a check and the poster through the ol' pony express. But please please please inform your partner to hold 281a/b/c for me. I would hate to have them sold while my payment is en route. Thank you!! |
| Dear Russian poster site operator: I was very impresesed by your website. I have a small set of earlier Soviet era posters in reproduction that I bought in 1968 (most have 1967 as the reproduction date) that I want to donate to my library, have mounted and use as a teaching tool. Can you tell me if the reproductions have any great monetary value so that mounting them would be a bad idea? Thanks and again, your site is very interesting. -- Linda L. Smith Head, Cataloging Dept. (904) 620-2550 Thomas G. Carpenter Library FAX: (904) 620-2719 4567 St. Johns Bluff Rd. S. University of North Florida -------------- Thanks for the quick response. I think we will encapsulate them- not really mounting, just enclosing in inert plastic enclosures- for the time being. My only concern then is the amount of damage which might be done in handling because although no contact will be made with the poster itself, it will remain flexible within the plastic. |

| Ahoj, I began collecting Slovak and Czech propaganda posters a year ago when I visited my girlfriend's familiy in Bratislava. I now have about 20 (none of which, incidentally, appear on your site). I've been checking in on your (well desigend, courteous, and user-friendly) site from time to time. I'm interested to hear your frank opinion on the value of reprints. Since my interest is developing, so is my experience and I'm hestitant to purchase reprints with the modest amount of money I've put aside for this hobby. Am I better to buy an original or two every year, or start by buying the government issue reprints with the intent of trading my way to those posters I'd really like to have. Drop me a line if you have the chance. Thanks for your site. I quite enjoy it. Mike Wallis in Montreal |

| Subject: Hello, again Date: Sat, 01 Sep 2001 14:06:23 -0500 (CDT) From: "Dr. Sue ... Hello, Petr First of all, I am in humble awe of your excellent English! I am embarrassed to admit that I still have to watch the subtitles on our copy of Zdenek Sverak's "Kolya". I studied Russian while working on my undergraduate degree during the late 1960's, early 70's, but now, alas, I am very "rusty" in reading it. I can read a word here and there, but in no way am I fluent. I am planning on ordering a couple of your wonderful Russian propaganda posters. Hopefully, they will still be available at that time. (We are moving into our new research lab this week and I don't have the time to properly devote the attention needed to select which ones right now.) I would like to readjust the "reserve" posters that I would like to put my name on.) I did get to spend quite a while on your website and read each and every poster and studied each one on all 7 "pages". After careful study, I would like to reserve, please: ... I am having to figure in the size of the posters before I order them. My daughter and her husband are living in a one bedroom apartment right now and haven't a lot of wall space for the posters. (Come to think of it, we are storing the propaganda posters she already has, so maybe I shouldn't be worried about the size.) You asked what my daughter was going to do with her Masters in National Security once she gets her degree. Well, Georgetown University is an old (old by US standards, not by European standards), private university in Washington, D.C. Since they have the top National Security program in the US (and #2 in the world) you can imagine who recruits the graduates. Actually, she is hoping to work for the agencies so darkly portrayed on some of your posters. She and her husband would like to study and work abroad at some point. Our daughter studied at a university in France for a semester and, in fact, she and her husband met on a study trip to Russia - sponsored by the University of Wisconsin at Madison (where they are alumni). Her husband is fluent in Russian, she in French, he studied Spanish, and they have traveled to Europe together. Our daughter has been interested in the Soviet Union since she was 12 years old. She had a Social Studies teacher, much like you, who had traveled to many parts of the world. He had been to the Soviet Union before she studied it, and his insights peaked her interest in studying it further. All during her high school years, we collected artifacts that we found for sale after the "fall" of the Soviet Union. When she graduated from high school in 1996, the huge box of these items was her graduation gift. Her two B.A.'s are in French and International Relations. She specialized in Russian Area studies and Western European Studies. She is still interested in Russia and Cold War Soviet Union. Her interest is strictly academic. She is fascinated in the maintenance of such a system by propaganda and is truly amazed that the system lasted as long as it did. Thank you for the information on payment methods. I will try to employ the electronic transfer from our bank to yours. Prior to the transfer, though, I will confirm that the posters I would like to order are still available. I will then add $9 shipping and handling to that total. (Are you sure that $9 is enough for mail from the Czech Republic?) Thank you again for your kind attention to this. Best Regards, Sue |

Of course, as soon as I write you an email about my missing poster it shows up. I got the Czech poster #872 in the mail today and it very well may be my favorite to date. It's beautiful. Thanks for sending it out and being so easy to work with. You will hear from me again. Hope all is well. DH -- David V. Hughes www.vindicta.com |
| Dear The Team, I heard about your site from a friend of mine who also interested in Propaganda Posters and I'm very busy this time of a year but i do really want to find The Russian Propaganda Posters and i'm wondered if you could please help me point the spot where i can find these poster on your web site or send me the poster picture. Sincerely yours, Chutimon Sereedeelert |
| Hello Peter, thanks again for the invaluable input. I am linking to your site on several pages of my site. I have just uploaded the first beta (test) release of version 2.0 of my software. It fixes the problem mentioned below. I still need to write documentation, finish a few advanced features and do so more bug fixing. If you get a chance give it a whirl. |
| Hello, Petr In view of the recent tragedies in New York and Washington, D.C., I wanted to touch base with you to let you know that I won't be ordering any of the three posters you currently have available. The reason is that my desire to purchase them for my daughter is overridden by my desire to keep the posters safe. I am afraid that packages entering the U.S. will be opened and inspected for the next few months. One-of-a-kind and rare items may be "traumatized" by over- worked Customs agents. I don't want any of the fragile posters being inadvertently ripped or torn, especially those that already have small tears, etc. I am sure that once things settle down into a routine, then we can order without worry for the item being sent. It wouldn't be fair to you, though, and I didn't want you to lose a sale if someone else was interested in any of the three you have my name on - #404, #406, #484. I will keep in touch with you in the near future. I would like to ask you to please keep my name on the "reserved" posters. The few months delay in those may be fortunate for us. Two days before the attack I faxed an order for a 400 year old book from a bookseller in Stockholm. I am very worried about the book and am waiting to hear from the bookseller regarding whether it was sent or is still in Stockholm, or was on a plane bound for the U.S. I have great concern for rare and/or fragile items. I don't want my desire to purchase them to put them in danger of destruction or loss. It is more important that the items stay safe. Thanks so much for your understanding. I will email you when I feel that it is safe to once again order from overseas. As of right now the main entry points for Customs are closed and who knows what is happening to packages destined for U.S. addresses. |
| My husband and I bought and old house and found old posters in the wall. Interested in selling. |
| im pretty lazy to look through all the images so if you could tell me wether you have something like a VIctor Tzoi poster or maybe Nautilus Pompilus or even maybe where i can get such a thing if it exists SPasibo for looking at this outrageous email |
| Hi, Peter. I saw your site and was charmed - I've never seen such a cool collection of old Czech and other propaganda posters. I have often been amazed by how few are available for sale in Prague, despite tens of millions being printed over the years. I am keen to buy some of your posters, but would like to examine them first. I live in Prague - are you based here? If so, could I visit you sometime? Yours Terence -------------- Hi, Petr. I remain as keen as ever on your posters -- but work is a nightmare at the moment, and I'm off to South Africa (where I'm from) next week. I'll contact you when I get back in December, and hopefully we can make a plan to get together. Good luck! Yours Terence -------------- Hi. I work for a small South African firm, looking after their financial matters in Europe. Fine stuff, except that our currency - the rand - has been unbelievably weak in the last year. We've started calling it the rouble. Yours Terence |
| Hi Peter, I'm interested in poster #631, The October Kids. It turns out my friend's not travelling up to Prague, so I'd like to place a mail order. I'm also interested in reproducing the image on this poster (on a music album cover)--do you know anything about who printed the poster and who owns the copyright of the image? I would like to request permission from them. I look forward to hearing from you--Thanks much for your help! Emily |
| Subject: soviet posters Date: Sun, 30 Sep 2001 12:15:36 +0200 hallo petr i am a student from switzerland and i'm very interested in eastern europe. i save all my money for trips to the czech republic (i was in praha in august!), slovakia, poland... and at the moment i'm learning russian. i really like your site, you have a very nice and (as far as i can judge) very complete collection of posters! i'd really like to have one, ... what poster would you recommend for me? i'd like to have an original poster of russian propaganda, with cyrillic letters, maybe an obvious picture of lenin or something like that, it doesn't have to be best quality, just impressive! thank you very much for your help!! greetings tom |
| hi peter, just sent you a couple of mails for reserving prints. i have to say that i think the collection is a credit to you and that i am very much impressed. much of the history behind these prints is very special to me, and i have spent the last 2 hours browsing your collection. i`m 27, and live here in dublin city, ireland. I work as network consultant mostly working on community network projects. would very much like to but some prints from you, particularly the some of the soviet and cuban "film" posters. drop me a line if you get a chance and let me know when you think that some of these will come available and if they have already been reserved. who knows, if they do come available, i would be more than happy to come to prague to meet with you. kind regards aidan ----------------- thanks for getting back to me, would hope to make a visit to prague sometime in the next 6 months. there are several of your posters i would also be very interested in buying. i have a suggestion for you.... how would you feel about coming to dublin to give an exhibition of propaganda art ? i would be very happy to promote and organise it, and think that you could take peoples details who would be interested in purchasing some of them as well. i estimate that there would be a large demand for such artwork and i know of several potential venes and perhaps also a sponsor. let me know what you think, will in the meantime send you the reference details of the posters i am interested in. best regards from dublin aidan ------------------- As you know Guinness is the national drink here in Ireland, and in the area of the city where the brewery is, there is a multimedia centre called the storehouse. It is a very large building and designed to be a "visitor centre" for Guinness. A friend of mine is the creative director of the Storehouse and is looking for new art orientated exhibitions to have at the venue. I am putting together a proposal for him to read, with reference to the type Of poster art in your collection. I need to know from you though, if you were to come to Dublin, How many posters would you bring with you ? Of which category would they be. Russian, Cuban etc .. ? Would you intend on selling them while you are here ? Would you be interested in selling them online ? This proposal I will be able to use not just for the Storehouse ( with Guiness as drinks sponsor ), but also for other venues and alternate sponsors. If you can answer the above questions, and also give me as much background information and history as you can about your collection, it will help to move things along. ------------------ Thu, 03 Jan 2002 08:03:10 +0100 (CET) Hi Petr, hope you had a great new year, all is well with me. thank you for the cd you sent, so interesting. really want to work on getting you over here this year. friends in new york also expressed and interest. more details from me soon. best regards aidan |
| As a curator of a large art collection and an Internet website I respectfully request an exchange of links between our websites that could be beneficial to us both. I am aware of your work in the field of art and culture and raising the public's interest and awareness. |
| Dear Petr, Please send me your mailing address--I'd like to send you a photo of the Worker's poster I have (my digital camera is in the shop for repairs)--that I am interested in trading for some Lenin-related posters in your inventory. I'll leave to you the values on both sides of the transaction. Sincerely, Andy |
| Hello Petr, I've been trying to figure it the international wire transfer with my bank and so far they are no help, but they are supposed to have a manager call me. In the meantime, I received the poster--thank you so much! It is beautiful. I am sorry that the payment has not gone through yet. Do you want me to keep trying to wire with my bank, or would you prefer if I sent you a money order or personal check? I don't want to keep you waiting for your payment. Best, Emily -------------------- Hi Petr, I think the wire transfer went through this morning! Let me know what you hear from your bank, but it all looked good on my end. For some reason, when I first went to the bank, they insisted that they didn't wire money in Czech currency or directly to Czech banks, so they sent me home to look up who the intermediary was. Then I wired US dollars to the Bank of New York, and it was sent back several days later. Then this time, when I asked what my other options were, they said they were able to wire Czech money directly to Ceska Sporitelna. This seems ridiculous--I never would have involved the NY bank in the first place if they hadn't insisted it was the only way. I guess my bank is just not that on-the-ball. Thanks again for your patience with this and for the poster--it's beautiful! Take care, Emily |
| Dear Peter, I show the posters in your website. I cannot want to buy one at this time, but I would love to reproduce one in a magazine featuring articles on eucation and propaganda. What is your policy on this? thank you, arianna, Italia |
| I am looking for an early 1950s Cuban poster, it has a mambo dancer and reads, "Visit Cuba - So near and yet so foreign, 90 miles from Key West." Thank you for your time, Esther Gonzalez Stagg |
| Subject: Re: Inquiry about DRA flag for the years 1978-80 Date: Fri, 02 Nov 2001 09:04:40 -0500 From: Russell Yoder <russell@heartland.lib.fl.us> References: 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 Thanks kindly for the wonderful scans you sent me, Petr! They are priceless....Truly, truly FUNNY!! A wonderful keepsake, I can see why you don't want to sell it! But except for the first color picture showing the Party flag behind the Tricolor, it does not show the RED FLAG that served as the national flag of the DRA for the years 1978-80. So please keep a lookout for this, in case you ever see it. (This flag was quickly withdrawn, after only two years, because it made the Muslims SEE RED, if you know what I mean!) Thanks again! |
| I'm searching for a cuban poster of a french movie "Jeux de massacre" by Alain Jessua. The cuban poster is called "Juego de masacre". Also searching any Andrei Tarkovsky movie posters you can have (cuban, czech, soviet, polish, etc) and also on Jacques Tati films. |
| Hi Peter ! I just watched your great poster page, and I found that there is missing something: Chinese revolutionary posters. |
| I wrote you a year ago about obtaining Vietnam War era posters. (I work on the project it seems when the weather here in Boston gets bad and I have time to research :) Do you have any posters from Eurpean countries protesting the war? ... I have doubles of HO and IMF . I am putting together an educational traveling show for schools and universites in the States and need more posters from abroad. Looking forward to hearing from you, Yours, Joe |

So, I also would like to know if all these countries are represented in this map, It's easy to see, just tell me if Spain is painted in one or more colors (excepting Portugar, of course). Well, thank you very much for the information. Long life the Leninism! |

| Dear Peter, I just got the posters from an old man, from Poland, who lives in the building I am in. The one I am sending has something hand written in the top and bottom borders, in Russian. However the writing is in the same printing process as the rest of the poster. It seems to be a color separation lithograph. I don't now much about this. Unfortunately, It seems to have been dry mounted on a piece of cardboard. I know it is possible to remove it and I have a friend that has a paper restoration shop in N.Y.. If it is worth the removal. It was framed and I just removed it from the frame to see if it had any other printing on it. The paper is not slick but seems to have a fine texture. I am just learning to use my scanner so I will do my best to send you this photo. Suzanne ----------- Here is the other poster. I am afraid it as been dry mounted and than trimmed. It has the artists name and the yeat 28. These must have been framed in the 50s when they dry mounted everything that did not move. |

| Petr - I have just checked with my bank, and they have said that they wire transfer has gone through! Apparently, what was needed was the additional "0800," which I had told them in the beginning, but had to remind them again. So, the money should now be in your account. Please let me know if there are any problems. Thanks for your all your help - I look forward to getting more posters from you in the future! Regards, Bridget |

I am writing to ask if the following Soviet posters are still available: #638, 639, 640, 641, 642, 643, 644, and 645.

Currently, I am conducting a research for a Japanese program called "Kaiun Nandemo Kanteidan" airing in Japan on TV-Tokyo. This is a family oriented program about antiques and collectibles, similar to "Antique Roadshow" shown on PBS here in U.S.. For its upcoming episode, the program is planning to feature a special segment called "I will sell my treasure." I have seen your website and I was impressed about your committment, devotion, and the risks you have taken to pursue your interest. If I may, I would like to know more about you and your collection. I would also like to express our interest for a possible interview with you. Would you be able to provide us with the information about your availability for an interview and restrictions (if any) in regards to the selling of your collections? At this point, the On-air Day & Time of the program is being processed in Japan and we are contacting Tokyo on a daily bases. I appreciate your time in taking our request into consideration, and I am looking forward to hear from you soon. Best regards, Kota Sakurai Hiro Enterprises, Inc. ------------------ Date: 1/30/02 Dear Peter Thank you very much for your timely response. As stated earlier our program has undergone a change in process and we are currently searching for a collector who is available to be filmed and wants to sell his or her entire collection. Please allow me to ask you a couple of questions for the processing of the program. As a reference the program would like to know the following. -despite the magnitude of your collection would there be no hesitation in releasing your entire collection all at once? Is it possible for us to know the reason why you would not mind selling your entire collection in a scenario such as this one? -the value of your entire collection. Forgive me for asking such a question, as I am aware that a collection of your scale cannot be measured in terms of numbers. But to those, such as the viewers, who are not familiar with the aspect, understanding the numerical value is one way of reference. I appreciate your time and consideration and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Best regards, Kota Sakurai Hiro Enterprises, Inc. |
