Many aspects of Western life during 1917-1920 and the 1940s-1960s were permeated with fears of the Red Menace, especially in the United States. Fear of Communism ran rampant, and Western states became paranoid at the ideas of Soviet aggression and communist infiltration of their culture and governments. It was so bad, that one of my high school teachers said that during elementary school, she and her classmates had to wear dog tags...in the event that their school was destroyed by an atomic bomb and their skeletons needed to be identified. From communist takeovers and apocalyptic destruction to DIY backyard bunkers and surviving atomic bombs, here is a collection of images of Western fear of communism as expressed in art and literature.
