My entry into the contest. With all cool artwork, it's the title that matters:"Caution, Cleaning in Progress."
The Soviets perfected the art of airbrushing out of photos people who were once loyal Bolsheviks but, crazily, it turned out they were ACTUALLY Enemies of the People (Враг народа)... I have a great photo of Nikolai Ezhov (head of the Secret Police during the Purges) and Stalin and other Commie Cronies walking along the Moskva-Volga channel. And then the same photograph, with Ezhov magically obliterated. Stalin looks as though he's talking to himself.
Communist art.
