Review Quotes: «Renate Kummers Analyse der frühsowjetischen Propagandaplakate ROSTA gehört zu den Büchern, die sich gut lesen lassen und gleichzeitig eine Forschungslücke füllen.» (Andrea Zink, Osteuropa)
«This book, with its fresh look at the semiotic properties of ROSTA posters, is a welcome addition to studies of Russian revolutionary communication. Kummer successfully colligates this propagandistic tool with contemporary research concerns in media, cartoons, and advertising. Hence this book can be recommended not only to students of the Russian avant-garde and revolutionary culture but also to those interested in the history of the abovementioned areas.» (Andrea Hacker, The Russian Review)
