<h3><strong>Russian Cartoons & Posters: From Red Tape to Red Square (G-1)</strong></h3>
Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection consists of items from the art exhibit “Bureaucracy in Russian Art: Posters and Political Cartoons" (2010), produced by Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, School of Public Affairs and Administration, in collaboration with the American University of Armenia and the Department of Sociology, St. Petersburg University, Russia. The collection features works that satirize bureaucracy.</p>
<p>Russian artists, like their American counterparts, have been calling our attention to conflicts between efficiency and ethics in organizational life, including ethical dilemmas faced by public servants; the unintended consequences for employees and clients of large bureaucratic organizational structures; and ways in which individuals are frustrated by, and cope with, large systems.</p>
<p>The exhibits in this gallery demonstrate the perception of the Russian artists that bureaucracy is dysfunctional, enervating, and inefficient, the antithesis of creativity, and a cancer in the social fabric. Their messages are, perhaps necessarily, negative. Their suggested solutions are seemingly superficial: use common sense, untangled red tape, treat people as human beings, and do not forget the organization’s objectives.</p>
<p>The display comprises primarily political cartoons and posters. Over a period of many decades political cartoons were disseminated in <strong><em>Krokodil </em></strong><em>(crocodile)</em>, a satirical magazine published in the former Soviet Union, as well as in other similar magazines. During the decades of the 1960s, 1970s and early in the 1980s a group of artists in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) known as the “Fighting Pencil,” produced anti-bureaucratic posters aimed to “open the boils on the body of the Soviet society.”</p>
<p>With the support of local officials, the anti-bureaucratic material was widely available throughout the Soviet Union and served to contend that bureaucracy was an obstacle to the success of Glasnost (openness) and Perestroika (the political and economic system), and warned that political and bureaucratic changes must go hand-in-hand.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
Poet: Smirnovski, S. “The Fighting Pencil” group, 1974
A client with a request came to the deputy head,
He was kicked in a moment somewhere to the left.
The client appeared in the sight of the aide,
And a kick to the right was immediately made.
But again he was told: "It is not our business!"
And the client was swiftly sent... straight to the gates.
There the watchman told him without sorrow,
That the game will resume at nine o'clock tomorrow.
The poster refers to the Russian colloquial expression “to kick a soccer ball,” which means to “get rid of a petitioner by telling him to apply elsewhere (R-E Dic6onary, 1987). The place in which the action is taking place is a warehouse, where a person is trying to get some entitled resources for his organization (may be also for individual use). Because of the command or centralized economy, wholesale trade was limited and almost all the resources in the country were distributed administratively—through warehouses owned and operated by various government agencies, most notably by the State Committee for Supplies. In a shortage economy, resources were scarce and organizations tended to stockpile resources in order to insure themselves from unexpected shortages. Thus, the portrayed encounter with red tape was especially characteristic for managers of non-defense industries, but also was pretty common in the everyday life of Soviet citizens, when they were trying to get goods and services to which they were entitled from the many agencies regulating their lves.

Once upon a time there lived an old man and his wife…
Description
An account of the resource
Poet: Smirnovski, S. “The Fighting Pencil” group, 1974
1. There once lived an elderly couple
Who peacefully ate their porridge with milk.
When the husband felt lousy sometimes at home,
Hitting his spouse was his way to relax.
2. With a complaint to the social worker
a poor woman went next day.
To receive the boring answer, "So far, you are O.K.
Did he rob you? Did he kill you? No?
Sorry. Busy. Try next day.”
3. After that he lived with Brandy.
Only Brandy made him violent.
Once he beat her up so badly,
She went straight to the police.
4. And the man in the Department
Simply said, "He'd go to jail,
If there had been witnesses to hear,
Just the way you said you wailed."
5. We've been telling you this story
To ensure men like him
Don't go around unpunished
Just because their actions aren't seen.

Description
An account of the resource
Cover of Krokodil [Crocodile] satirical magazine, No. 17, 1965
Inscriptions on the papers: “Complaint,” “Application,”
“Request,” and “Appeal.”
To access “the holy body” of even minor public servants has been traditionally one of the greatest problems for petitioners seeking help or support, or submitting complaints. Armies of doormen, secretaries, assistants, etc. have inhabited offices of different bureaucracies, making personal meetings of ordinary people with “decision “makers” close to impossible. The artist presented this
situation as a futile effort to hit the desirable target—to be received by the boss of an office—exposing numerous levels of the bureaucratic organization and the wastefulness of time and human resources they entail.

<h3><strong>Russian Cartoons & Posters: From Red Tape to Red Square (G-1)</strong></h3>
Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection consists of items from the art exhibit “Bureaucracy in Russian Art: Posters and Political Cartoons" (2010), produced by Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, School of Public Affairs and Administration, in collaboration with the American University of Armenia and the Department of Sociology, St. Petersburg University, Russia. The collection features works that satirize bureaucracy.</p>
<p>Russian artists, like their American counterparts, have been calling our attention to conflicts between efficiency and ethics in organizational life, including ethical dilemmas faced by public servants; the unintended consequences for employees and clients of large bureaucratic organizational structures; and ways in which individuals are frustrated by, and cope with, large systems.</p>
<p>The exhibits in this gallery demonstrate the perception of the Russian artists that bureaucracy is dysfunctional, enervating, and inefficient, the antithesis of creativity, and a cancer in the social fabric. Their messages are, perhaps necessarily, negative. Their suggested solutions are seemingly superficial: use common sense, untangled red tape, treat people as human beings, and do not forget the organization’s objectives.</p>
<p>The display comprises primarily political cartoons and posters. Over a period of many decades political cartoons were disseminated in <strong><em>Krokodil </em></strong><em>(crocodile)</em>, a satirical magazine published in the former Soviet Union, as well as in other similar magazines. During the decades of the 1960s, 1970s and early in the 1980s a group of artists in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) known as the “Fighting Pencil,” produced anti-bureaucratic posters aimed to “open the boils on the body of the Soviet society.”</p>
<p>With the support of local officials, the anti-bureaucratic material was widely available throughout the Soviet Union and served to contend that bureaucracy was an obstacle to the success of Glasnost (openness) and Perestroika (the political and economic system), and warned that political and bureaucratic changes must go hand-in-hand.</p>

An account of the resource
The vain crow, a forest ranger, has been outwitted by the fox. This time he gives the crow a bottle of vodka and makes off with the trees that she is supposed to be guarding. The cartoon provides a harsh commentary on unprincipled behavior in many areas of the bureaucracy, especially the management of the environment.

Description
An account of the resource
"Poet: Shumilin, V. “The Fighting Pencil” group, 1972
He is just a genius for a shady business deal:
Fake names on the payroll he shows as real.
But for his unreal and illusory luck
In the jail for real he can be long stuck.
The poster refers to the prac6ce of ""dead souls,"" a term coined after the famous novel by Gogol. In order to reach full employment, the Soviet government overstaffed many organizations. Some ""entrepreneurial"" persons managed to take care of business in the organizations with much less people than they had on their payrolls and pocketed the wages of the people who were on the list
only. These people usually were relatives or friends, or other trusted persons, of the managers who took the money. The ""dead souls"" also could be people who did not work anywhere but needed to have some working experience recorded in their papers in order to be eligible for some benefits (e.g. social security). They could work somewhere else and give all the money to the manager, or could split the money between them—depending upon circumstances."

In the former Soviet Union the highest form of non-monetary appraisal was the honorary degree ""Hero of Socialist Labor"" (although, in an economy where almost everything was distributed and demand was overpowering supply, this could turn into material benefits as well). This title was usually awarded to people who set record achievements in industry, for example coal mining (although scientists who had inventions were sometimes also awarded this title). For public relations purposes, many organizations strove hard to have their own heroes of socialist labor, so they created exceptional conditions for some workers to excel, while ignoring the rest."
