This book discusses one of the most powerful tools of§Soviet propaganda political caricatures, which§were published in the official Soviet newspaper§Pravda. The main focus of the work is the§stereotypical image of Israel in Soviet caricature as§well as the most important methods of visualizing the§enemy and significant changes in the depiction of the Zionist state during the 40-years period of§Soviet-Israeli political confrontation. The book also§aims to describe the main themes of anti-Israeli§caricatures and to answer the question whether or not§antisemitic motifs were used in those drawings. In§addition to the analysis of caricatures the author§offers a survey of the approaches to the phenomenon§of political cartoon in general and in the USSR§particularly and gives a brief review of the history§of Soviet-Israeli relationship. The present research§may be useful for those who study or is interested in§contemporary anti-Israelism, Soviet journalism and§visual arts.
