It's interesting. It would be interesting to compare from different sources and times. And really get a feel for different propaganda and the tricks that they employ.
Your example reminds me of something that I stumbled across when looking into instruments.
"In 1932, on the order of Stalin, the Soviet authorities called on all Ukrainian Kobzars to attend a congress in Kharkiv. Those that arrived were taken outside the city and were all put to death."
Stalin basically had blind musicians shot here or they were later arrested. Probably because they were playing older national songs, like folksingers. This is not something that we hear much about.
"Kopan, Heorhiy – Arrested in 1930. Protested the censorship of Ukrainian songs. Arrested in 1936. Arrested again on March 19, 1938, and shot on March 28, 1938."
Makes me wonder how often this type of thing happened. I know it's not quite the same as an example of written propaganda. We don't learn much about communism at school but it sounds similar to what the Nazis did. The undesirables often get abused.
