A bit off-topic, but the topic of propaganda reminds me of the “propaganda” posters created by the artists Vitaly Komar and Alexander Melamid around 1980. Raised in the USSR and living in America, they made works of Soviet-style propaganda for the United States.
Some examples:
“Black and White Brothers Forever”

“Glory to the U.S. Armed Forces”

“Onward to the Final Victory of Capitalism”

Raised in the USSR and living in America, they made works of Soviet-style propaganda for the United States. Those are pretty fantastic. I like how they peeled away some of the "foreignness" layers to reveal the core concept.
