Russia. Mozhaisk. Propaganda poster from the TASS Windows series, No. 857, "Hitler's Criminals Will Not Escape Retribution," 1944. Artist: P. Sokolov-Skalya. "TASS Windows" is a series of posters by the Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union, published in major cities of the USSR during the Great Patriotic War. They were intended to raise the morale of soldiers and, in bright and simple images, strengthen the people's faith in the inevitability of victory over the enemy. The best cartoonists and writers in the country worked on the drawings. The first posters appeared in Moscow on June 27, 1941, in the shop windows on Kuznetsky Most. Since 1942, the publication of small-format "partisan TASS Windows" began, more suitable for distribution in the occupied territories.
