Славься, труд, Славься!

The first time I traveled to Russia, then the USSR, was in 1989. Sculpture, simple posters, etc., with themes such as this: Славься, труд, Славься (To the glory of work, to the glory!) were, of course common. The attitude of many people I talked to, their comment on such posters, was; "The state pretends to pay us and we pretend to work."
